Default Difference after solid motor mounts?

I am thinking of having solid motor mounts put in when I have the tubular k-member and programming done. Probably the MADMAN ones.
For those who have solid mounts. I have heard they can cause KR. If they have caused it on your car, was it easily programmed out. Have you experienced other problems or things you do not approve of? I do realize that they will cause a good amount of vibration. That doesn't bother me much because it is primarily a race car. I already have race only LCA's, and soon possibly a race only PHR. The combination of the parts will more than likely cause a larger change in vibration.

After the vibration problems I had upon installing just a poly tranny mount the thought of solid motor mounts scares the crap out of me - is this a race only car?

It is slowly getting their. I think for now I will hold off on the motor mounts and do just the k member. and a-arms.

Will I notice any difference in the car after the install, besides less weight and better transfer?

I should hopefully have my car running on Saturday with the TTs and the solid mounts and I will let you know how bad the vibration and KR look.

The solid mounts are much lighter and they give you a TON more room to play with (which is great for us TT guys).

KR sensors long gone. I will be using Madmans solid mounts in conjunction with an engine limiter from Competition Sales. Any problems and I'll post em up.
