Which motor mount to get? Im in need of some new motor mounts and I am looking at Prothane motor mounts and Energy Suspension mounts. Do any of you know what the difference is between the two because there is a pretty good price difference between the brands?

^^^ they work with after market k-members like UMI, BMR and Sphon. Unlike the solid mounts from sphon which only work with their k-member or the stock one.

Arent those a bit more brutal when it comes to vibration. I dont want the car feeling much more shakie than it already does with the cam. I know the poly mounts are stiffer than stockers but they do absorb some of the vibration dont they?

i installed prothane motor mounts in my car when i did the headers. They where a pain to install but it was worth it. As far as vibration i really did not notice a difference in the car. I also have a prothane transmission mount. i would highly recommend the trans mount too

Ya its more of a daily car I use it more often than my dd... Its to much fun to leave it parked, so comfort is a big factor. The energy suspension are way less expensive so I think ill go with those.

I went with Prothane. Their trans mount is definitely almost a solid mount though, if you look at the mounting holes it sites directly on top of another piece of metal. It's basically just wrapped in poly. I have gotten used to it, but I might switch back to a new stock mount.
