Window weld or Urethane?

I've been thinking of geting the easier motor mounts to install. I'm believe its the 2 upper mounts but I can't remember off hand. But, because I'm cheap sometimes, I was thinking of just window welding the mounts. For those not in the know, window weld is like ultra super glue that hardens to about the consistancy and hardness or urethane. It costs about 15 bucks for a tube. But, that also means I'm rigging my car and I don't know if I could live with that. I know I get what I pay for so should I just get the 2 mounts and be done?

I bought these from Ireland Engineering (also the bottom set) fit perfect no mess.

^With those, the old mount does not have to be removed, right? They just slide in the empty open space of it?

Yes, they are void fillers.

i also got the IE ones and have been very happy with them. the install was trouble free, and i felt a significant difference (the good kind). the wheel only occasionally vibrates at stops
