Engine mount suggestions

Any suggestions for replacement rx8 engine mounts? Still have the OEM ones, but they are badly in need of replacement.

Am I lucky that I got 93k out of the stock ones?

their lifespan is quite wide, i have about that many miles on our original mounts without any issues. then on others i have seen them fail at 65k and others make it to 150k.

Mine outlived three engines and lasted 140,000 miles before I filled them with urethane.

Changed my right side mount at around 80,000 miles. Currently the car has 88,000 miles and the driver's side still seems to hold ok.

when my car is in drive at a light or stop sign it idles real rough. but when I put it into neutral it seems to smooth out a bit. could this be my motor mounts?
