I need opinions on aftermarket motor/tranny mounts
Hi guys, I have bad motor and tranny mounts and I'm trying to decide whether I should try and install aftermarket mounts or just shell out the money for OEM mounts.
I'm having a shop do the work for me, and they said that for most japanese vehicles they have worked with, when they replace the OEM mounts with aftermarket mounts, it not only doesn't fix the problem, it sometimes makes it worse.
What are your guys opinions on aftermarket mounts? Any one tried installing aftermarket mounts? I've read on here about people saying that the aftermarket mounts they bought were better than the OEM mounts, but the shop is telling me otherwise...
Thanks!

I went with Megans because it was the only one I found who makes a stiffer mount. Feels the same but technically should last longer. Usually I hate Megans because they're a "economical" brand from taiwan but pretty hard to F up motor mounts
So if you want stiffer ones its a good option but if you just want oem style ones then just get oem

I got mines OEM from lexus of South atlanta. Go online and look for theounts. They can ship them to u front door. They have them for 99 dollars. So 2 will be 198.54 plus 21.75 shipping . Total 220.29
Good buy right there. Then my mechanic charged me 200 for labor. So 420 total but new mounts = soft ride and seems like has more torque to me. Then took the car to service the transmission. Flush the system and new oil . Woow what a difference like a brand new car. Soft shifting and faster and o boy why I didn't done in the past. Good luck
