Default Stock engine mounts are shot. Where to go for replacements?

Ever since my turbo install, my stock d16z6 mounts in my 95 civic are shot. The motor moves what has to be 6" in each direction when driving (so hard to drive) and even an inch or so when revved in neutral off idle. So, I definatley need some new mounts. Honda wants like $500 dollars for the set. What a rip. I saw the mounts on http://www.jimfab.com and the prices are good-- but the ones he has listed next to 92-00 civic totally don't look like they fit (the mounts are 90* off?). I'm confused. Where can I go for some good, solid, strong mounts to replace my stockies? Any help is appreciated!

poly glue your stock ones. Or get poly urithane inserts and add 3M polyurathane glue inside them before you slide the ":inserts" in.

Everyone from Buicks to mistu to Hondas do this.

My friends buick GN used a "tow strap" that hooked to the altinator bracket and then the frame, he said it worked GREAT. I could find anywhere on the back of my Z6 to hook the strap to, but the rear crossmember looks like a good place for the other side to hook to.

I've got a set of those poly serts, but I'm saving for new mounts to seal em into. Knew a kid that did the strap idea, but with a link chain.. Dunno about that ish though.
If your mounts are f'd then the serts and glue would help, but inside that slick lookin outside is still gonna be your p.o.s. crumblein mount. I can't remember what the shop cost is... I think it's about 60 front and 70 rear. It's nice to get parts at cost I'll check for ya if you want...

Thanks, I appreciate all your responses. Did anyone look at those www.jimfab.com mounts I am talking about?

jazeo24: Thank, I appreciate the offer. There are three mounts, though, no front. Two sides and a rear. Thanks!
