solid motor mounts? I have a BMR K-member (the kind that replaces the heavy iron motor mount piece). I have been running Poly motor mounts for the past 8 months and they just don't cut it (keep hitting the exhaust on hard lanches).
1) Where can I get direct replacement solid motor mounts.
2) Does anyone make a solid tranny mount?
3) If I drive from say Pheonix to Vegas, will my hands/butt/etc go to sleep from the vibration or is it not really that bad?

Spohn makes a very nice set of direct fit solid motor mounts. They are a lot more durable then the ones that you can get elsewhere. Moroso makes a solid transmount, but to be honest the poly ones work fine. I have this setup in my car and it rumbles a bit, but it's not too bad. Just depends on what your tolerance is for it.

DO NOT RUN A SOLID TRANNY MOUNT!!!
if there is any flex in your chassis what do you think is going to be the first thing to give? i know people that have run them and went through many tranny housings. switched to polly and no problems since.

I have the same BMR K-member, poly mounts, and no problems with hitting the exhaust... (1.5x 60's, 6k+ RPM clutch dumps). You might consider tweaking the exhaust...
