Should i pickup used motor mounts then urethane them or use my broken ones?

I searched the org and havent really found the right answer im looking for, but it is basicly this...

I have 3 out of the 4 motor mounts out of my maxima right now, the front and rear engine mounts are totally shot.. its really loose but not totally torn out just torn from the top or side. Have allot of people been going ahead and filling these with the urethane or do they go out and pickup decent used ones then fill them?

And If so where is a good place to pickup a used set on the internet?

Buy the front and rear from someone on here, have the polys put in and then installed. Or get the mounts and have the shop press them in and install them for you

I don't know the condition that my motor mounts are, although I'm expecting them to be bad. I'm just going to end up filling my original ones, unless someone has something to say about the original posters questions. Bump

i was going to tell you to call cattman because he sells those ES poly-U mounts ($100 shipped) that you can insert into the bracket. But their mounts only fit the 5-speed versions. You can use your rear bracket to fit one of the mounts from cattman, but for the front, it won't fit because 5speed mounts are smaller than the auto mounts.

Then, you should just try to buy used mounts and fill them up, but I just think it's best to get brand new mounts if possible.
