Default Engine mount replacement tips

Just had new headers fitted (pacemaker tri-y) only to discover both my engine mounts are broken.

I've had a search through the forums but have only found one or two threads with not a lot of info about actually replacing them.

Are there any tips to replacing them? I've noticed with pacies there isn't a lot of clearance, particularly on the passenger side. I'm assuming its still possible to change the mounts with headers on?

I was just going to put the car up on stands and jack the motor up to change the mounts. Is there anything that needs to be disconnected or loosened before I do this?

Also where is best to get mounts from and are there any to avoid?

How much should I be looking t pay? I've seen prices on these forums from $90 right up to $200.

Any tips greatly appreciated.
