Spohn Ls1 Solid Motor Mounts..
Spohn Ls1 Solid Motor Mounts.. I'm considering getting a set of these for my supercharged 02' camaro. And I was just curious about them, if anyone is running these or has any info I'd appreciate it.

I'm sure there are people on here running solids but it seems anymore most are running poly mounts. Just something else to keep in mind. The polys are only like $50 and a lot of people claim they are just as good. I will be getting some soon.
My poly mounts took all day. Once you get them out, you have to drill out the rivets out of the clamshell, pull out the old mount, I painted the clamshell... reinstall the new poly mount.
I had to take out the pedistal that the mount is attached to also. There is only (4) bolts on the mount, I think (3) maybe (4) on the pedistal, and (1) that holds 'em together. You also have to remove your alternator.
Not sure about longtubes, I put in my mounts in before LT's.
It's a PITA.... Get some Mechanics gloves (save some skin)!
Good luck

I have the Spohn solids as well and have no problems with them. Even before I did the cam I didn't notice any additional vibrations in the car (though I did them with my LT swap so the noise could be covering them up). I have a cam now and I still have no complaints. My car obviously is a little more animated now, but it has nothing to do with the mounts.
Overall I would recommend them though you also can't go bad with poly's.

motor mounts aren't that hard and I didn't remove the altenator or my headers I just worked around them. It is time consuming, but not hard just stay calm and be patient. Darrin are you gonna be driving the car on the street or are you gonna keep it on the track? I didn't do the solid mounts, but if I didn't like a little shake with my car the polys would be pushing it for a DD car. You know what kinda car guy I am so take that as you will, but at the same time fugetaboutit put in the solid mounts. 
good luck with your decision

Just got some solid motor mounts in my convertible. Gone is the low frequency vibration from the engine lope (220 cam). Gone is the exhaust banging the body.
Feel and reaction to the drivetrain has improved as one would expect. Noise is up a little bit but hardly noticable. Not nearly as loud as when I was running without cats. I've got a little more medium frequency vibration/sound that is barely noticable when cruising.
The only negative is the feedback from the road. I used to be able to feel every little pebble or nuance on the road. Its hard to determine if the vibraiton from the seat/steering wheel is a pebble or the engine now.
