Default Engine Mount

Hey guys i need some help finding the stock engine mounts for an 89 mustang gt. I know about the energy suspension mounts but I dont think i need them. I dont really car if their stock or not but the guy that had my car before me put on solid motor mounts and the driver side is completly snapped.
At ford they want $180 for just the stock engine mounts but for the energy suspension mounts its $157 plus shipping and thats with a tranney mount.
Should i get the energy suspension kit or the prothan kit with just engine mounts for $95
Thanks for any input

ya but the one by me gave me the wrong mounts, I wondered why he only charged $45 a piece.
Would it be worth it to get the energy suspension mounts or just get the prothanes just the engine mounts?

also something that i wanted to ask about that i dont think i should post a new bullitin for is, my rims are too wide especially in front, their 10 in wide and when i go to do u turnes the inside of the rim rubs on the a arm, I am planning on getting new rims as soon as i get a new job but is their any temporary fix i can do so that im not chewing up my a arm, it only does it on the driver side.
and how wide should i go in the front, 8? or 6? this will be a daily driver.

I paid $24.99 for my passengers side one. At schucks. Not the best mount I have ever seen but decent for the price.
Look it up online.

These are for the 85 but I am fairly sure they are the same.
Tranny Mount is $7.95

Print the lookup and take it in with you. They usually will price match.
