In the same sense you cant use a solid trans mount without solid motor mounts, even with one bolt holding the trans to the cross member it can break the trans housing.
Seems risky that the torque arm is still trying to raise the trans up, I'd want a solid trans mount too. But thats just my theory.

I installed Spohn solid mounts in my last car (98 M6 TA), and when I need mounts for my new one I am going with Spohn solids. Easy install, and made the car fun to drive again.
Vibrations werent horrible, but you could feel them. I also used a 1LE trans mount. The prothane trans mount was over the top interior-wise. Made the door panels vibrate, lol.
Since I have an A4 this time I am going full solid (motor/trans) when I replace the mounts.

I put poly mounts in my car during the header install. There just a slight bit more vibration at idle, and I can't tell the difference at cruising speed. What is the advantage of solid mounts over poly? My car is a street car that I race occasionally. I've ridden in cars with solid mounts, and think most people would prefer poly mounts. I know it's a performance car, but I don't need engine vibrations to remind me of that, stepping down on the gas pedal does just fine.

Looking good! I still love mine! I don't even notice the vibrations anymore.
You can't go wrong with either one.
x1000000000.
Solid mounts are just that; solid. Poly mounts are great also. For a mostly street driven car I would suggest poly mounts. Like I stated in my first post I just like the slight weight savings and complete replacement of the mounts when running solids.
I do not believe so. I actually just posted in a BMR k-member thread in the suspension section. Spohn is the only company that I am aware of that makes it, I just don't see why the others wouldn't. Unless I'm missing something it's literally just a plate with holes in it to accept stock mount pedestals/solid mounts. I'm also surprise that besides Spohn(and I think Madman) no other company makes solid mounts. I talked to UMI before I bought my Spohn's and they said they were planning on it but that was awhile ago. I know it takes more to make these products than it seems but solid mounts for LSx guys seems like it should be a standard product in your lineup.
