Go with the Revshift Insert, way better price and you don't run the risk of shifting issues from the trans sitting too high. Same on the Motor Mounts, I've been running Revshifts MM for over a year now and they are sturdy as a rock, no risk of failure like you get with creative steel and they are cheaper!!
Edit: never mind on the insert, didn't realize you didn't have OEM trans mount.

No complaints on the CS parts from me. Lots of regular driving and track time with no issues, katech short shifter has no problems with the CS trans mount stock or aftermarket DS.

Ahh (sorry looked at the wrong post), then yes go with insert! My OEM transmount was sagging like an old lady and the Revshift brought it back to life, shifts like a dream now.

my only concern is that I bought this car in 2009 and never replacement the motor mounts or trans mounts so I have no idea the condition of the Trans mounts... With my luck I would dish out the $190 for motor and trends mounts just to find that the Trans mount is beyond repair... Then I would end up having to fork out another $200 for the Trans mount....

I'm running the CS motor mounts and trans mount as well with a Katech short throw shifter. No issues with my "spririted" driving. Everything fit nice and snug. Shifting efforts improved and motor movement is next to nothing now.

The insert is only $40 and I highly doubt the mount is beyond the ability to work with the insert but it is possible. Worst case senario you could always resell it on here, you should snap a photo of the mount, if you aren't lowered it's easy to see.
Personally I'm all about stretching my cash, the $95 you save by going with Revshift could buy you Trailing Arm and Diff Bushings from Revshift or pay for 2/3 of your motor mounts from them.
By the way I looked up the price on a new OEM trans mount (Part Number 25767171), $496 WTF!!!

Knew Fuzzy would have jumped on this!I used UMI MM so no idea about those. i know there have been several failures, but they are quickly replaced by CS. So...I guess if you like wrenching. I have their trans mount and I dont have any problems to speak of. It is taller, and with their 8.8 kit I modified my shifter to clear the drive shaft. But other than stock, and the revshift insert, they have the only real aftermarket trans mount.
Edit* Fuzzy, if you would, take a picture with a ruler/tape from the top to bottom of your transmount with the insert and I will do the same with my CS trans mount. I'd like to know the exact difference.
