haha, well put it this way mate......................i had a knackerd gearbox mount and it cost me just over £1100 in 2 new driveshafts!

so if i were you, i would get the old tired mounts changed mate for the sake of it :)

you will notice things vibrate alot more aswell with the new mounts

yeh mate, £570 for the driverside one and £480 for the passenger one :( both brand new from toyota! didnt fancy getting second hand ones plus like i said, i had the money so thought i would treat myself :) lol
 
Its not wrong to pay for genuine quality parts ;)

The poly mounts will give you increased cabin vibrations and will require you to give it a 'touch' more pedal to pull away in first gear and very low revs.
You will find the power is put down to the wheels a 'touch' better, even more so with decent drivetrain mods. I went for TRD mounts as they are less harsh than their polybush counterparts.
