Default Advice on engine mounts?

I need new motor mounts for my 06. I called Nissan and they quoted me $264 for the tranny mount and $94 for each engine mount. That's not including labour.

I am looking to buy aftermarket but everything seems so sketchy.

I want to spend about $250 for all three through Amazon or maybe Ebay. Does anyone have any info on MotorKing?

Has anyone used no name mounts?

I took advantage of cyber monday and bought from import parts pro. Got some SPL goodies for a killer deal

Outside of missed cyber monday opportunities, does anyone have experience with no name mounts?

I think majority of the polyurethane transmission mounts will be from Torque Solutions. I don't know if anybody else is making one, other than Megan who sells it with their poly engine mounts, anymore. The aftermarket poly mounts will most certainly increase NVH, and depending on your tolerance/preference, you may or may not enjoy it.

I have an OEM trans mount and a passenger side engine mount; PM me if you're interested.

Go with z1 polyurethane motor and trans mounts. There is a little bit more noise but not much. I also have energy suspension subframe bushings and solid differential bushings. I can notice the solid differential bushings when I am in very low rpms when slowing down in any gear. It gives a little bit of vibration that you can feel. It is a good downshift indicator. Forget the oem rubber crap. They dont last very long and there is no lag when you step on gas.

Thanks guys. I found two incredible deals for bnib eom stuff so I got both engine mounts and a tranny mount. The car has 180 000 miles and I figured I won't be keeping it for another 180 000 miles so OEM is a good bet.
