Most of the mail order places (Like Sobstory) carry the rigid mounts along with the hydraulic mounts. I don't like the rigid mounts because they can make for a lot of vibration. The amount of vibration varies from car to car, so you won't know until you put them in.
I recommend using the hydraulic mounts, and adding the modification recommended by Townsend (http://www.townsendimports.com) They have a slight mod that reduces the travel of the mount, greatly increasing their lives. It doesn't affect vibration at idle or cruise.
How long did they last? Another question - have you replaced or inspected the upper (torsion) mount? If the upper mount is shot, the engine will move around a lot, and chew up and spit out the lower mounts as fast as you can put them in.
