Best daily driver solid motor mounts?

Hey im getting a new clutch installed and they take the subframe out and motor mounts out anyways and to help avoid high rpm lockout im getting some solid motor mounts, but i dont want anything to radical. What are they most street friendly motor mounts for a daily driver car? Anyone have any for sale? I see the ams push in ones? How are those and are they hard to change out, i was looking at torque solutions but ive heard you get a lot of vibration even with the 3 piece kit.

Go with any mount that is under 80 durometer or you will rattle your dash off.

I have the torgue solutions, all 4, it vibrates super hard in the begining, but eventually they will break in eventually and not be so rough with the vibrations.

I have the Ams mounts. The minor vibration doesn't bother me. I think you just get used to it. Yes they break in also but I think its more that you just get used to it.

My advice, if you are worried about streetability don't do solid mounts.

I have them and my whole car vibrates. I'm going back to stock.

For a street car I like doing just a Blox front mount and leaving the other three stock/rubber.

After doing the two side mounts, I almost had less vibration than with just the front.

Why so? I'm thinking about changing some of mine out for stock/rubber and would like to just swap the one(s) that are causing the ridiculous vibrations.

So you're saying that the FRONT is the one that causes the vibrations? Please explain.

Again, I want to switch some out for stock and would like to know which ones cause the most vibrations and therefore which to swap back to stock.

sorry to go off-topic a little bit, but since streetability (vibration) is being asked by the OP, I feel like clarification is relevant.

Consider a engine torque damper. I have a Weapon R torque damper and it works WONDERS! It eliminates 75% of the engine rock (1st gear its still there but not as bad) and it actually dampens the vibration when you lug the engine below 2000rpms.

IMO when you do just the front mount I think theres a harmonic thing happening and thats why stiffening the two side mounts helps cancel that out. I'm gonna bet my torque damper will do the same when I put my blox front mount in. Hopefully...
