poly mounbt or solid mount?
poly mounbt or solid mount? my engine shakes!!! stupid cam lol the exhaust hits the floor pan. I just noticed this when i gutted the interior of the car. besides the point i broke a trans mount.. dunno why its still stock.. shouldnt of been...but can which should I go with a poly engine or solid engine mounts? I dont want to shake the car into peices but it would be nice to not hear a clunck when i shift hard and the entire car to shake instead of just the engine

I have solid's and it can be pretty rocky at times, but not really much more than the poly mounts. People seem to think that a poly mount is like a pillow compared to a brick (solid). Not the case though.

I have an M6 with Spohn solid mounts and cant even tell a difference between them and the poly that I switched from.

I had a poly trans mount with poly engine mounts and the drivetrain was *tight*....probably as tight as it needed to be in most cases.
I had solid mounts in my previous car (91 SHO) and there was definately more "vibration", enough to notice but not enough to care about...except passengers who complained about the drivetrain noise and vibration. Solid mounts are probably overkill. Ymmv.
