Default Pfadt vs Hinson

Hey guys I'm looking for some better mounts on my 02 Z06. Just seen hinson has urethane engine and now dif mounts. Wondered if anyone has heard how they compare to Pfadt mounts?

When I was researching them, the Hinson was a little softer than the Pfadt. But Pfadt had some complaints about the stiffness of theirs, so they introduced a softer version, and have since dropped the original stiffer model. I do not see the $$ difference between them. The Pfadt one does look cooler. HTH.

I have hinson mounts in my TT C6 and my 441 Z06. I think they are doing GREAT!! I didnt want the Pfadt because they are stiffer. I drive my cars a lot and I can feel the more vibration and rattle even with those softer mounts.

I went with the Pfadt Diff Brace, makes very good sense to me.

Hinson engine mounts, they make good sense as well.

Wanted to balance vibration & noise, I won't know the results for a couple of months.
