here is how i look at it.
if you want to do a front motor mount then IMO just get the BR front cross member. it will drop 7lbs off the car AND you still get what your after.
now if you are going to buy side mounts ''cam side and trans side'' do not buy the bushings. while they work why not kill some more weight?? get the AWD or AVID motor mounts for the sides. drops another 6lbs VS the stock mounts and you again get the harder bushing. now you just dropped 13lbs off the front of your car and you have your harder bushing.

I have all four Torque Solutions mounts and would not advise this for a daily driver if you're sensitive to the race car feel - vibrating, rattling, etc... But then again, I own a plush luxury car too for when I don't want to be all boy racer, but it doesn't get driven much

i'm contemplating getting the rear one to, b/c i drove my buddy's 240 from PA to NC and he had solid mounts and i didn't mind that at all

I bought the AWD ones and I had no clue that they were actually Torque Solutions until they arrived at my house... But it doesn't surprise me, every shop has their own turbos, manifolds, etc - any only a select few actually produce any of them - private labeling at it's best...
