There are several companies that will do an Uprated insert.

HPA do a complete replacement mount as do THS and a few others.

The HPA one costs quite a bit, but from the reports in the USA, it is the one to go for.

Do they also do the engine mounts?  Where would I get them?

I've used nearly all the different option of lower mounts over the years bar the hpa version.  There is no need to change the arm for something different. The inserts from powerflex and superpro work well if on a budget. The THS is a little harsh, but a good step up from an insert.  The one to go for if money is no object and you want the best qua lity and performance is the vibratechnics. They do the replacement bush for the subframe and the replacement small bush in the arm.

The bsh/revo kit is a full replacement arm, but with only an insert for the subframe. As you ddon't need to replace the arm it's not even worth a look in.

i have the THS mount and then bought the vibratechnics dogbone from alex.

it has settled down now a bit but the first couple of 1000 miles is like being in a diesel truck ( i would imagine!)

the NVH through the dash is severe and needed to take some of the dash apart to get rid of the rattles so if you're not prepared fot this dont bother.
if however, you want to make your car as hardcore as you can go for it  :party:

Turns out the THS mixed with the small VT bush in the dogbone isn't the best combo.
