hi buddy
i installed a set of energy mount inserts into my cousins DC5(front and rear) and this increased the vibrations significantly however still very streetable. In comparison i have been in a car fitted with hasport mounts(street grade polyurethane bushings) and this was very rough, enough to vibrate the dash at lower RPM's.
If your car is currently fitted with three polyurethane bushed mounts adding the front mount shouldn't change the feel of your car to much but should reduce engine movement as DC5's rely on four engine mounts to stabilize the engine.
On another note maybe you could invest on an engine torque damper like this one.

These products sold by a variety of manufactuers are not dampers at all.
They are nothing more than a pretty alloy rod with a peice of teflon inside.
Fitting ones of these will cause more vibration than any engine mount kit you may buy.
