Lower motor mounts (2 part question)

Next weekend I am doing my mounts since they are shot to **** and at this point and I can actually afford address this.

Question 1:
I don't want to go OEM (unless I have to) since they are overly pricey so does anyone know of good aftermarked hydro. mounts as well as a on-line place which sells them?

Question 2:
Quasi's site states that the subframe has to be loosened to get the new front mount in and this is the only part of the whole project which worries me. I am sure that plenty of you guys have done this so does this really have to be done that way or is there a way around it?

Thanks in advance

Val

P.S.
Are there any other pitfalls with this project?

The Eeuroparts.com ones are 'Fine' just buy 'em.
The front subframe dosen't loosen on that side.. But you will have to jack the engine up a couple or more inches.. allow for that by removing the upper dogbone mounts as your first step.

Yes it's a Struggle.. what isn't onna Saab :)
Eparts ones are 3 years and holding.. Looked identical to OEM bits (may just have been OEM) not sure they WERE Jobber. But at $30 each someone is making Serious Markup on OEM bits.
Personally I'd avoid the Plastic mounts.. vibration increases .. for V little if any perf gains.
