I wouldn't be able to answer that as I had the Z1 (PU) transmission mount a year or two before I had the shifter installed. I went from the Z1 to the GKTech (I added the MTec return springs as well) after having the Coolerworx for 3-4 years because I recall someone saying that it would help with the 1st > 2nd gear delay that our cars have. Did it help? Yes, a little. Was it the cure-all I was hoping for? No. Not only that, it also increased the cabin NVH, so it's definitely not for anyone who doesn't want a rowdy experience... I do, so it stayed.
That being said: solid/stiffer engine mounts are not needed, I'm still on stock and I've had the Coolerworx for about 5 years now. Solid transmission mounts are most likely also not needed, but since you're going to be under the car, I'd recommend going ahead and upgrading to a PU and be done with it.
