Default Motor Mounts

So the time has come for me to get new motor mounts. My question is, what would be the best thing to get. Whether i just go to ford and get the stock replacement or get the solid, or the urathane ones.

One thing to add, my cold air intake hits my passenger side shock tower, cause of the new egr spacer so im thinking that i should not get the solid. But just want your opinions.

Thankyou

I would just go to your local auto parts store and just get some new mounts. I believe if you get the mounts for a convertible that they are a little stiffer.... or so i've heard. Easy enough to do, just don't get $hit in your eyes like I did lol

What made u decide on the urathane ones?
Then i want to make sure that there is only two.
Was it a real pain to replace them?

Get poly's, stiffer and last a hell of alot longer, I bought Energy Suspension, 2 motor, and 1 trany mount, which I think that tranny isa must with new motor mounts, but that kie its 160, so maybe if you could buy the UPRs and then fnda poly trannu mount i think it could be cheaper, And iys fairly easy, make sure you have variuos length extensions and a universal

My install was easy since my motor had its heads off......I stood inside the engine well and pulled them off from the top

But those bolts where a B*tcH to crack!! Especially on the passenger side
