Motor mounts + headers?

Hello all. Just curious here. Going to have to replace a/some motor mount/s soon and was wondering while I'm down there would it make sense to ad new headers since I plan to anyways eventually? Also could anyone help by telling me which motor mount should be replaced when there's a delay into drive? Or would it be best to just do them all and be set? Thanks in advance.

Front Mount affects Drive/Shifting
Rear Mount affects Reverse
Side Mount affects Acceleration/Shifting

Side is Insanely easy to Replace.
Front is Somewhat Easy.
Rear is a MTFPITA! to Replace, If your replacing the Rear Mount makes sense to Install the Headers Right there.

Thanks everyone. Any suggestions on brand for the motor mounts?? No intentions on racing or being excessively rough, just want quality parts that most likely will last till the car is kaput.

OEM Is shitty Enough...
If you want parts that will last you will need to give out the Vacuum Soft/Hard Feature for Fixed Strenght Mounts.

That Said POLY Filling the OEM Mounts should suffice for less money..

If you want the Real Deal:

62A Shore is Ideal for Daily Driver and the Lifetime Warranty comes in Handy.

Yes. For me I heard & felt it on the steering wheel. It took me a few weeks to get use to it.

I believe the OEM arent even 62A in strenght so everything better than OEM will give a little Vibration It deppends on HOW MUCH "A Shore" you get.

62A (DD) Should not Introduce ALOT of Vibration some But bearable.
75A (STREET) SHOULD Introduce Vibration
90A (PURE RACING) Its a hell of Vibration

But remember that 62A is Stiffer than OEM!
And no there´s no ride penalty more than Vibration.
