Well I can honestly say aftermarket ones you get at say autozone or something are crap. I put a set from Advanced Auto on when I replaced the motor and they are already going bad. I am going to get a set from Brown Dog Industry.. Much strong and beefier and really not a ton more. I think around $70 for a set. I thing the cheapos cost me like $20-$30...

Just to add if your motor mounts are bad do yourself a favor and also replace the tranny mount. Trust me there...

That's what mine looked like a few months ago.
I bought some el cheapo ones from Rock Auto for $11 just to get me by. Once these crap out I'll be getting the BDI ones... if I have the money.

CHanged mine with the crap autozone ones about a year ago they are still holding up pretty well. If they die I will prolly go with M.O.R.E mounts!
I have a write up in the write-up section for doing motor mounts if anyone is unsure how to do them.
