A Hybrid front mount is probably the most cost effective solution by the time it is fitted. All the Classic top mounts are struggling by a little over 300 bhp and the older ones a good bit earlier than that.
If you want to fit an STi 8 TMIC, that is a big job and you do need the scoop and under tray.

As Harvey says, on a classic, I'd go front mount and pay the extra.

STi7/8 TMIC does benifit from a larger scoop and the under tray, not needed but kinda pointless fitting it without them.
