Default Motor mounts!!

Where do I go? Just ordered my tsp full true duals. I want poly or pro not solid. Solid would be great but it's my daily and less vibration the better. Let me know thanks guys!

I looked up the mounts and all I can find is the bushing and the mount separate. Is that how I have to buy it?

its all about install... you get them in and get them snugged down properly and you wont have any "vibration" from a solid mount...
I have no vibration from my 408 daily driver with spohn tubular K-member and solid motor mounts...

Just get solids, the vibrations really aren't all that big of an annoyance, except a bit at idle. The people that bitch about the vibrations are probably the ones that never drove with solids.

My car is my DD as well.

The only difference going from stock to poly mounts is a slight, but noticeable shake at idle, besides that there's no difference.

Can you use the Spohn tubular LSx motor mounts on a stock LS1 in a 2000 z28 and stock k-member?

Here's a cool tip if you have the better lumbar seats on a T/A. Remove the vacuum/air line that goes to the drivers seat from the passenger seat. Now, the lumbar/bolster controls on the driver side control the passenger side. Can make for some interesting/funny moments if theres a chick in the passenger seat and her seat just starts vibrating

(don't ask me how I know )

there are 2 versions of the solid motor mounts...
the ones that are a direct stock replacement...and the ones made for their tubular K member..

the ones to replace the stock one go in and nothing changes...as is my understanding...
if you get the tubular K-member and solid mounts it raises up your engine slightly...I know this from personal experience.

I like the vibrations from my solids, feels good. I just don't like the fact that it finds more things to rattle inside the car, which makes it more noisy. So I wouldn't do solids again on an F-body considering the Fisher Price interior.

Oh yeah that rattles like mad but it doesn't matter because it's doesn't make any noise if you have a drink in it, or have it closed. I have a rattle coming from the glove box area though and some others from one of the doors...I think. I don't know, rattle rattle rattle.
