I would buy new OEM parts, not third party brand.

I would not install used motor mounts, as there really is no accurate means to tell if they are any good. Measuring them does not indicate the condition inside...
With all the time, effort, and cost (if not self-performed) to install, anything short of new mounts is faulty logic. Then again, if you have the time, effort, and ability to do the job potentially twice, then press on. I do think these are better than those you posted earlier...

Engine mounts seem to have lifespans of say 60 or 80k IMO. (They usually degrade slowly so there are lots of people out there who will say "mine are fine after 120k!" but in reality they just don't realize it)
When talking about $1700 per piece prices for new OEM shocks, I understand buying a part off of a salvage car for $150. I did that when one of mine was found leaking recently.
But engine mounts are relatively inexpensive - I got OE parts from a dealer for under $200 per side a week ago.
Engine mounts are cheap for new parts, and relatively labor intensive to install (well, they are pretty easy if you have a lift / hoist) - I see absolutely ZERO reason to install used parts in this application.

Ok bought them now its too late i have a carlift and works with cars so no problem for the job. I understanf that new are better. I didnt feel any vibrations and something odd with rhe ones in car now. I just saw them and noticed that they are too low.
Do they sink anymore than the picture when rhe engine is on them?
Have seen that many have installed aftermarket ones but i dont think they do the job as oem and i come across this ones and looks ok in my thought.
