Noise doesn't bother me in a 20 year old car :) i expect everything to make noise. I am replacing it on my DD with poly because it offers less flex than rubber and will last longer. I will loose less HP in my driveline because it has less chance to move under torque. I've driven an E30 with all metal bushings and it was noisy but it felt tight like a 4 year old. At the moment i have 2 bad tranny mounts and 1 sagging motor mount.
I am fully aware that when you replace a stock part with a high performance part there will be +/-, honestly between less money and more hp who would buy the $120 M42 stock liquid filled mounts

Why do you want them? Is this an autocross or track car?
If it is a daily driver, then you need to be prepared for a lot more noise. The hard bushing help a bit with shifter feel and will keep the fan from hitting the radiator hose (on 6 cylinder's), but they don't really help much with performance beyond that.Leave a comment:

Nope. Not a single one of those sites offer ANY engine mounts rubber or poly. Guess IE gets my businessLeave a comment:

keep looking.
Forget IE, you'll get some sub par parts. Don't do it to yourself. I have plenty of urethane from them, and there's a reason I'm changing things over every time I can.Leave a comment:

IE Poly Engine and Tranny Mounts
OK I'm gonna order both sets for the M42 from IE and was wondering who else makes poly bushings for motor and tranny. I've checked turner and pelican and they both dont have any.
35 each for trannys = $70
49 each for motor = $99
(taken from IE's website)
169 total. I already have poly rear subframe and trailing arm bushings. Need steering and rear diff next
