From memory the WRC mounts also drop the engine down approx 10mm so you may have some issues with the uppipe and the subframe and the position of the exhaust.
Have you looked at these?

I am using these and others including Steven also use them. Scoobyclinic used to do them but cant see them on the site anymore. They are about as good as you can get without solid mounting, which may have its own issues.

Benefit is debateable when compared to the TR mounts. Vibration has to go somewhere amd solid mounting everything transmits ALL the vibration and movement into the shell which is not always the best scenario unless the shell is capable of coping with the stresses.
