Question Engine mount advice - Saph Cos 4x4

My standard mounts need replacing and speaking to Ford they want £200+ for a pair. Looking around I have seen vibra technics do a fast road use set and MSD have Collins uprated mounts. Both for about half the price of Ford.

The car is not used on track and honestly is mainly only out for shows and the odd weekend drive out.

I wanted advice as to which way to go and opinions on the options available

Thanking you in advance

the vibratecnics ones are harsher than our collins type,

the up rated mounts are a wise move, they help with drive shaft issues on the 4x4.

As above, uptated mounts are the way to go, fit and forget, they won't or shouldn't need replaced again. No noise/vibration difference, but don't get the gearbox mount, I've heard that's bad for vibration, and the standard one is fine.
