Prothane, the solids scare me. I dont have the ***** that SUX2BU has

The solids i can imagine are going to cause more vibrations that you will care to have. They are mostly used to drop some poundage i think. The prothane will work perfect, plus give you a bit of flex. I like to know that if i need to drop my trans, i can unbolt the tranny mount, and tilt the trans down to remove the top bolts from the bellhousing. Try this with sold motor mounts.......

Sux2bu's whole car only actually weighs about 12lbs at this point.

Well now ya got a thread to go back to reference when you do the install

Since the search is dead.

I went with the Prothane mounts myself. I don't think you need solids unless your hardcore, and the car is more of a track car than a street car. Just MHO.

Sorry for the hijack!

<---me Back to the original question in this thread, I would just go poly unless you are hardcore racing it. With both poly mounts my engine barely torques over with a real good punch of the throttle. It's like solid without being solid, ya know?

That's awesome, because I just did Prothane Poly mounts with my header install, and the transmission is coming out next

Im running the Prothane mounts currently...very solid feeling without being a SOLID mount. One of the best moves I've made!!

Thanks for all the input guys...I guess I'll just go with prothan mounts...cus the tranny will have to be dropped to put the converter in…when I get one.
