Look it is false economy to not change the mounts when you fit coilies!
You may think the existing ones are fine but you are placing additional stresses on them. Do you know how old they are?

They were fitted for last MOT so I thought they would be fine lol!hmf turns out one of the top mounts was not as tight as it could be. I drove round for a good hour and the mocking has gone! Result!
