Stiffer engine Mounts??

I have 04 GTO mounts and they are very soft, i want something stiffer. Is there a manufacturer out there that makes something off the shelf? Cheers.

Why not go solid? I just bought the Spohn Solid Mounts for my new build. Appears to be a pretty quality piece

Solid mounts do exactly what it sounds like. Makes everything stay in place. Excellent for drag racing. I run the Spohns and they are simply awesome all around for me. Ever wonder what it is like to stomp on it in a T-56 equipped car and not feel the shifter move over 4 inches to the right? It doesn't go anywhere with solid mounts. People say that there is some "discomfort" in using solid, but I have yet to see what the fuss is about. This is probably the same people that either: A. Have never driven/ridden in a solid mounted car. B. Don't have solid mounts but heard the same people from the "A" group gripe about how bad it could be. or C. All of the above.
