Which motor mount to get?
My guess is you haven't done much to your suspension yet -- best give Sam Strano a call... http://stranoparts.com
It can be much-improved...

If only I could find a place to go drive with solids -- that's the trouble with a lot of aftermarket parts -- near impossible sometimes to find a way to test drive with them before buying...
I personally didnt notice much more shake from the solids over stockers and i had a h/c (243s/MS4). To me everything feels more confident and likes to move easier cuz the drivetrain is movin around. I put down better dyno #'s, picked up .05-.1 at the track, and had much much better throttle responce.
Get the motavtive solids and a prothane tranny mount and youll thank me once you get everything in the car

The Prothane and Energy Suspension mounts are very similar. We have always used and sold the Prothane mounts and had good luck.
Solid mounts will stiffen the ride quality and can add vibrations to the car so make sure you are aware of this. People have different opinions on what is harsh and what is not so keep that in mind. Also different engine combination such as a cam ect will change how the car feels with solid mounts.
If you do decide to look at solid motor mounts please keep our new light weight aluminum design in mind. They are machined from a solid piece of aluminum, hard anodized and weigh in 3lbs lighter than factory or polyurethane mounts.

Solids wont make much of difference in ride quality. Do a search, there's even a video that shows how much vibrations are added. Very few people that have gone with solids have switched them out for rubber or polys.
