Default getting a kmember soon need advice

Just like the title says. I've decided to stay NA foe at least another year but in going to buy a Turbo kmemeber for down the road. My question is, should I get solid mounts or just use a factory mount with poly mounts? This is a 99 percent street car. I heard you can't adjust the motor with solids though. That would suck for trans work and the like. See that there is more room with solids though. any thoughts on this?

You will want some give if you go with a turbo setup IMO.. I'd stick with the poly mounts.

I never recommend solid motor mounts in anything but a race car...and even then I seldom do. Working on a car with solid motor mounts can be a pain since the motor won't tilt back at all, making it difficult to remove the trans. Poly mounts are strong and very durable while still offering some noise/vibration isolation. I vote poly mounts!

That is definitely your best option. A k-member that allows you to run a big downpipe and a good streetable motor mount that allows to keep the motor movement to a minimum.
