what kind of power are we talking?
rubber or solid. poly is crack and you will destroy them in no time.

im making around 300wrhp. 5speed manual, and im hard on it. i drive it planning to do repairs. so what kind can take more of a beating?

The 5-Speed cars have this problem. I would replace it with rubber ones. I have heard stories of the Poly not lasting very long. Im sure some 5sp guys can chime in. I think it was Damon that was cursing about this quite a while back....
 
Alright, then Poly is definitely out of the question. If you're really at that power (and actually, with a 5-spd anyways.) then you want to stay away from them. All the manual guys have the issue of causing them to tear apart. I mean heck, they lasted about two weeks in my auto. :rolleyes:

Rubber's will last awhile (or should) if you arent driving like an idiot. Most guys get away with running them (even the elites)

I've had poly in mine for a couple years now without an issue. They were like new when I dropped the dif last week for the trans swap.
 
I use the Energy Suspension front bushings, and I race the car, without issues. However, I do have a poly rear mount as well.
 
If you put poly in a 5-speed car expect to change the passenger one regularly. Either go back to stock rubber ones or go solid. Look for a thread by ricardoa1, he installed a Cobra setup that was made out of aluminum.

funny you say that, its the passenger side thats destroyed. the driver side still looks usable.
