That log you posted looks like false knock. But I'll have a look at the one you emailed. Definitely check the roll stops as i said before though
Usually nvh. Cost also and potential stress on other components.
Had them in all of my cars and love them.
Steve has a custom / ralliart solution that costs a bit more and requires you to have a / be pressed into the mounts. All rubber IIRC
only if you get rubber mounts.
the prothanes dont need pressing (from memory)
if youve never had harder mounts of any sort (on any car) then its a hard thing to explain. basically everything feels tighter and more responsive. the engine doesnt move as much and so it feels way more responsive. sure theres a slight increase in noise and engine vibration at idle, but its nothing you cant live with.
id do the prothanes over oem. if you can afford the cost (this time of the year sucks) the TME's might be more your thing

I remember seeing some photos that showed more plastic deformation over time (sagging) on a urethane mount than on a rubber one.
Some people (including TME_Steve) have had poly mounts get warped on their VR4s.
You should upgrade the roll stops because they perish faster than the other engine mounts. Get the stiffer ralliart roll stops from Steve. The upgraded rear will give some vibration to your steering wheel at idle, I don't mind personally but others might.

That's what I had heard too. Quoted $85 for new insert, $125 for swapover of my mount with another one that has the insert already pressed in.
I do not have a press (of all things), so I think this is my best short term option.
Anyway having said all that, my crossmember looks like it's been jacked wrong a few times and could be deformed. Wonder if that's not helped because it could be putting pressure on the front roll stop?
fair bit of info here on the poly stuff.

the link that i put up is from this thread.
its up to you if you want rubber or poly. both will give you the immediate desired outcome, as to which will last longer, i dunno, heads or tails?
it basically comes down to how much youre willing to spend. $400 or half? and how soon you need them.
ps: i'd do the lot in one hit if at all possible

the reason behind the ralliart solid mounts was simply to avoid the ecu from detecting false knock
you sometimes get the NVH but its not enough o be really annoyed.. with auto's I don't think you actually do feel it as its more subtle
