After ~20k miles of ADEs I wanted a more daily-friendly motor mount.
I got in touch with Turner Motorsport and Sean was able to help me pick a durometer and answer questions. Per Sean, TMS has sold 35 sets of 60A mounts and 30 sets of 80A mounts since their introduction. There were no returns / no reported issues with the 60A, and 2 returns / no reported issues with the 80A (most likely too stiff). Also he relayed positive feedback from the owner of a car with 60A mounts that sees 70% daily 30% track use. Very helpful in confirming my choice of 60A before buying.
Shipping was fast, no issues, good packaging with lots of padding. I installed the mounts on 12/08. Fitment is great - engine sat exactly as it did with ADEs.
Good-looking metal casings and hardware.
Note the insulation plate on the passenger-side mount, a nice touch.
I forgot to take pictures of the underside - the mounts are held together by 6 hex bolts in a circle underneath, with a flat metal base. The polyurethane insert is not visible from the bottom unlike OEM, 034, or Revshift.
Vibration measured at the cluster / steering column, stock idle.
My impressions: TMS did a very good job producing a performance-oriented, yet daily-friendly motor mount. You can 100% feel the engine when you slam gears or otherwise drive the car hard, but it becomes much more civilized and so much smoother when driving normally around town. Speed bumps are no longer an exercise in feathering the clutch and my engine no longer feels like a 900lb truck motor. Most importantly all the annoying interior squeaks and rattles (118k miles on my car) stopped with the new mounts, as I hoped they would. There is no engine movement during cranking or shutdown, so you will feel it a little there.
At the time of writing I've logged just under 500 miles of *hard* driving:
Disclaimer: normally I wouldn't write a review with so few miles. However the reported sales vs. returns numbers are solid, and @V8bait is running the 60A mounts for 8 months now with no issues (thank you for your feedback Justin).

- several 2-3-4 highway pulls at 23psi (single turbo 6266, high 500s wtq)
- clutch kicks and drifting
- donuts
- several high rpm clutch dumps, one prolonged burnout
