Considering these factors and weighing them against the desired benefits before deciding to upgrade to polyurethane engine mounts is important.Polyurethane engine mounts have advantages, such as improved durability, reduced engine movement, and potentially better performance than stock rubber mounts. However, there are also some downsides to using polyurethane engine mounts:1. Increased vibration and noise: Polyurethane is a stiffer material than rubber, which can transmit more engine vibrations and noise into the vehicle's cabin. This can lead to a harsher and louder driving experience, which may not be desirable for some drivers.2. Harder ride quality: The increased stiffness of polyurethane mounts can also result in a firmer ride quality. This can make the vehicle feel more rigid and less comfortable over rough roads or bumps, potentially compromising overall ride comfort.3. Potential for increased wear on other components: The stiffer nature of polyurethane mounts can transfer more vibration and impact forces to other vehicle components, such as the exhaust system or drivetrain. This increased stress may lead to premature wear and potential failures in these components over time.4. Installation challenges: Installing polyurethane engine mounts can sometimes be more difficult than installing stock rubber mounts due to their increased stiffness. Proper alignment and torque specifications must be followed to ensure the mounts are installed correctly and function as intended.5. Cost: Polyurethane engine mounts are typically more expensive than stock rubber mounts, which can deter some vehicle owners, especially if they do not prioritize the performance benefits.IMHO, on your setup, a stock OEM rubber engine mount would be best.I hope that helpsMichael Plummer</blockquote>
