What engine mounts do most use on the GT-Four?
Seems the TRD mounts are now discontinued?

Looking mainly at the front Engine/Gearbox mount.

I used new standard ones except for the front one as I was able to source a TRD item.

Various sources for poly out there as well. I experimented with this a few years ago - the vibration through the chassis was extreme I quickly removed them, not sure if those available now are any better.

My Front TRD mount is coming to the end if it's useful life, 12 years old now.
Vibrations I can do with out but mixer has said he can make up some softer poly bushes?

Maybe a stock mount would suit my needs a little better, Any ideas on price for a new Toyota mount?

No TRD left and stock mount is £77.11 + vat from Toyota.
Decision time!

Pawel gt4 Poland chap used to do the softer drilled out "turbo" mounts...
They were poly, but not solid like mixer72's , they had voids in the material to offer more flex like OEM

NOW AVAILABLE IN TWO VERSIONS:

- SPORT VERSION - hard

Cheers for the reply Gary.

I have gone with a Mixer (BRD) Front engine mount in a slightly softer poly (60 Shore) so will report back with my findings.

Having fitted a 60 Shore Front engine mount there is no additional vibration at idle or motorway speed.
I'm still using stock Toyota East & West mounts with a TRD rear mount.
