cannot be just a spring, if its a spring only the engine will bounce up and down, should be like a shock absorber to absorb the bounce (similar to car suspension struts)

well u are using a 1L turbo 125hp 175nm car to compare, but a more powerful and bigger engine like the one in x50, 175hp 255nm will produce a much stronger vibration, and hence stronger mounts and other workarounds like dampers, balancing shafts etc is needed compared to a lower output 3 cyl engine

but of course need to confirm with proton first how much is the mounts cos now we all also unsure hahhaha

The bigger the torque + vibration, the more expensive it is going to be. Engine mounts in concept is simple but due to our modern day demands is now very complex to make.

You need it soft enough to absorb vibrations but tough enough to withstand all the torque from the drivetrain. Thats why liquid filled mounts are popular, they absorb the vibrations when not compressed kao kao and react when compressed kao kao. You try newer car use 3rd party new ones can sometimes be worse than your old original mounts.

If you are not the kind that need to be the first for everything, wait and see how the initial batch wear and tear sets in.
