I called SC power the other day and their polyurethane replacements are cheaper than that and will last a lot longer..

Yes and no..

He said he had some in stock that were not 100% poly and would sell these 1/2 price but more normal ones were due in soon and he ordered me up a set of 'orange' super hard jobbies.. price still the same.

He also said some super heat resistant ones are being developed / ordered (for Tuscans) but these would be pricey at about £100..

ive just replaced mine and ive gone for the carriers as well ,bit expensive but they extend the life of the engine mounts .

Thought the extra “carrier bit” was just to catch the engine when the mount fails, can’t see how it extends the life.

Encapsulates the bouncy stuff so it isn't flexed unduly. Seems to me like you might as well go solid mounts with some kind of shock absorbing 'washer' if you go that far?

I'm using their poly mounts now. They seem if anything a little softer than the OEM rubber ones, but I like the fact they won't degrade with heat and also the carrier will hopefully stop the engine going too far if they do separate. I think the next step for me would be solid mounts if/when I need to replace these poly ones, but until I've tried that I don't know what the consequences would be for noise/vibration.
