Default Another motor mount question

I am waiting on my Kooks headers and Y pipe. I have purchased spohn solid motormounts. Should i install them and what effects will they have? I have already installed poly trans mount and Eibach anti roll sway bars. What is the difference in poly motormounts?

solids are exactly that- SOLID. you will get people telling you that they will vibrate your teeth out and make your car undrivable and blah blah blah. i've had them in for 2+ years and love them on my dd. everybody has a different idea of what is acceptable. they do have a LITTLE more vibration to them, but my exhaust isn't smacking the floor anymore and i kinda like watching the car jump when i fire it up. with the incredible PITA it was to do motor mounts with the headers on i'm glad i'll never be doing them again. most people can't even tell they are there unless i pop the hood

I'm in the same boat. I have solids, they are no issue. There is a very narrow window where there is increased vibration.
I'd not hesitate to throw them on another f body.
