The urethane inserts are nice, especially for a FWD car, if you're revving it out a bit, because they pretty much eliminate wheel hop. You will notice the car vibrate a bit more, but it's not too heavy unless you have the balance shafts out as well. I have no balance shafts and urethane mounts and I only notice it at idle. After I start moving, I don't even feel it anymore.
I don't know if you will find many places that sell the inserts and the mounts. You can take your mounts off and bring them to any shop with a press and they should be able to pop them right out for you, $20 maybe.

The only problem is with extremepsi.com is that he has an automatic transmission. They only sell them for manual only.

Why should you get prothanes?
Production vehicles are built using rubber motor mounts. Rubber components are on the soft side to accommodate the typical car and truck buyer, and they tend to deteriorate rapidly. This contributes to premature component failure, a "spongy" ride and less than ideal performance handling. Urethane inserts can correct these conditions, while improving drivability.
Fits onto all 4G63 1995 - 1999 DSM M/T Only; front and rear inserts do now work on Automatic Transmissions!
The sides should work and Avid makes some really nice ones which I have on my Tsi

My bad, I missed the auto trans part in your profile. I doubt they come with the mounts and all, but a shop can get the factory pressed ones out pretty easy. But, since your auto, I'm not sure.
If your old rubber ones are still in good shape like mine were then they're gonna be pretty tough to get out, I had to have a friend take an impact hammer to them
