mounts- what type?

Putting headers and ory on my vert and thought it would be a good time to change the engine mounts, trans mount and torque arm mount. What type of material do you recommend and why? Rubber, urethane, prothane, ?

I like polyurethane, because it lasts longer and more resistant to heat and breakdown

THe way I understand it is solids are good for drag racing and poly is good for a DD, solids you can feel more engine vibration, which I wouldnt like to feel, but thats me

Go with polys for the motor mounts, you won't be disappointed. Not sure if changing the stock trans and torque arm mounts are necessary though.
