Solid or poly motor mounts?
Solid or poly motor mounts? Looking for feedback from anyone who has run both.
I have a set of both.
Will either increase the amount of knock the PCM detects?
Pros and cons of either?
Time for winter mods.:
Long-tube headers
Solid or poly motor mounts
LT4 knock module
Mcleod dual disk clutch
Line-lock

Your results may vary. :-)

OP -
I removed my solid mounts and went with poly units to match my trans mount - much better; firm but not excessive.
Full disclosure: I have no experience with 'good' rubber / stock units, as my bird's stock mounts were sagging when I purchased the car (in 04 at 77k miles)
Poly all around is my vote, but good stock units might be OK too...

Like what speed demon said, my Pacesetters would bang against the k-member when I had stock rubber mounts with only 85k on them. I'd go with polys up front and a rubber trans mount to keep your center console from rattling to pieces.

I just installed some Pacesetters long tubes and when under accelartion, it bangs against something. My car has the stock rubber mounts with only 30K on them but still a 16 year old car. Did the polys up front resolved this issue?

I did poly mounts when I did my LTs, my stock 160k rubber mounts were shot. You get a little more vibration but nothing to bad, I still DD my car.
My drivers side y pipe did hit the floor a little when I first installed them, massaged the Y pipe and problem solved.
For the $250? I paid for the LTs and Y its hard to argue the price of the pacesetters, best mod I did to my car so far.

My Y pipe is hitting my floor still, i bang the floor and now it hits less. So the poly mounts did NOT fix this problem but the "massage" did? Better headers would have fixed it. No banging, no "massaging".
