Engine mounts.. options?

Hey so i have replaced my mounts a few times now and just getting sick of the same scenario. I need to replace the front and rear and was going to put an AWR F+R set in. I rang up mpsgarage who are completely hopeless and dont even do them anymore even though website still shows you can buy them . Checked awr direct saw it was 200 bucks to post them and the mounts were cheaper then shipping which is rediculous.

What other mounts or websites are there for a 70ish duro F+R mount set that are not ludicrious in shipping costs?

AWR is the best
you can get them from crossoverauto.com... they're always on hand

you need to inspect the driver side mount... if it is broken, it will cause the front and rear mounts to fail

If you get sick of changing them like i was i took my rhs and front mounts to cammthane in Albion Park Rail and got them to urethane them, i spent the time and burnt all the rubber out with a oxy and gave them the parts to toughen them up, i had a spare set so they could have all the exact measurements and placement of the parts, a guy on fl.com got me onto them, he said he paid $60 for 2 but i ended up paying about $300 off the top of my head for 2 and i know ill never break them.

I think the $75 was just the shipping cost
