Opinions on motor mounts needed

Getting a new AS 05 evo and I was wondering what kind of power can the stock motor mounts withstand? Also what kind of upgraded aftermarket mounts are close to stock feel or not to harsh?

Anyone? What strong aftermarket mounts will feel like stock? I have solid mounts in another car I have and it makes everything rattle and I hate it.

I am using the power flex mounts, the one in the front and then the ones on each side, not the one in the back-- if you use just the front one--there is quite a bit of vibration, once I added the side mounts ( frt motor/trans ) then is was much better. Others have seen the same thing, so i would use at least these three--- forget the stiffy mounts and other temp fixes-- these will also ease shifting as the trans and motor wont rock--. Lost a tran case in a nissan due to too much flex in mounts--so I really beleive in these.

Hmm ok if I get it and start to make big power then ill switch. Do you by chance know how much power the stock ones will hold? Ill probably be doing around 350-375whp and would like to keep them stock until do rods and pistons.

I have had the AMS motor mount inserts and there front solid crossmember. It
Made such a huge difference in shifting and launching the car. (to me it did). I put them
In when my motor was stock with 11k miles. Doesn't vibrate much at all. Maybe im just use to it.
