I've been waiting for good motor mount options for the A90 for some time now. The B58 in this configuration torques significantly when on-throttle. The stock motor mounts are too squishy for motorsport applications, especially so for cars pushing power significantly over stock. After installing an aftermarket intake on my '21 with only bolt-on power mods, the motor torqued enough to pop the coupler off between the turbo inlet pipe and the turbo inlet (something to check if you have the Eventuri intake installed, as they use - or used to use - a pretty short coupler). We now have some solid (pun intended) options on the market, and at least one (@Twisted Tuning) in development, so I thought I would create a post to discuss them. The products currently available for purchase have me, well...
...let's just say I get excited about motor mounts. Why do I get so excited? Why have I relentlessly hounded @Twisted Tuning about releasing their product? I like "racecar shit," as @Thraxbert has said. The immediacy of throttle input and reduction in unwanted weight transfer (in certain situations) is palpable and desirable. The additional rumble through the car of the motor motoring feels good. This modification will definitely cause more NVH. How much depends on any number of variables, most notably in many cases, what hardness of inserts are used. Each of the products discussed below have various options regarding said hardness. Note that I have not installed these products on my Supra yet. My comments about feel are based completely on installing various stiff motor mounts in four separate street an track cars I've had in the past. I would expect the Supra to be no different. I will update this thread with pictures, video, and feedback as soon as I have the upgraded parts on the car, currently scheduled for November 18th, 2022.

Doteki Auto Solutions Motor Mounts

Install Video: None
I ran across this product when watching the following video:
Pretty much all of the links on their website are broken. Rich (the owner) is, however, very responsive to email inquiries submitted through the website and extremely helpful and pleasant, I let him know I wanted to buy these after a short discussion by email and he sent me an invoice to pay online. They offer a race version (pictured below) and a street version. The only different between the two are the hardness of the poly used in the product, with the race version being a 65D hardness.
Here are some pictures of the product I received:
Both products use a different philosophy in their design, and each of the designs have merit. I've made the decision to install the Verus Engineering product with the 90A hardness bushings, as I believe they are better designed to address lateral movement of the motor as it shifts. Both products are beautifully designed and produced. The billet aluminum Doteki motor mounts are almost too pretty to install, and I will gladly put them on a shelf in my office as a conversation piece until I (most likely) sell them. I welcome any and all input and calling me on my bullshit.
