Thanks guys. I'm just concerned as i'm waiting for my c5-r headed 434 from HPE and may even shoot it with a small shot so I may be in that realm of concern at some point. Thanks again

I've never run solid mounts so I can't comment on them, but IMO poly mounts are one of the best uses of polyurethane on an F-body. I think you did right going with the Prothane mounts...

I love my prothane motor mounts! My engine doesn't jump all over the place anymore, and the car even feels more steady around corners. My stock ones were shot though. It doesn't vibrate much more inside the cabin, and doesn't cause KR like I've heard other people claim.

To The Top (puts the thread back to the top of the list so more people will see it)
The stock mounts are like wearing two condoms.
The polys are like wearing one condom.
I haven't tried solid mounts but, well I think you see where I was going.

I've run the following combinations:
1) stock engine and trans mounts (obviously)
2) stock engine mounts with 1LE trans mount
3) drivers side poly engine mount, stock pax side engine mount, 1LE trans
4) drivers side poly engine mount, stock pax side engine mount, poly trans
5) drivers side poly engine mount, poly pax side engine mount, 1LE trans
6) drivers side poly engine mount, poly pax side engine mount, poly trans
IMO, if you want to keep the most compliant, stock-like feel, while reducing engine movement then option (3) is your best bet. If you want the most solid, direct feel and a little vibration doesn't bother you then (5) or (6) should both work for you. Besides, the trans mount is a 15 minute swap so if you're not happy its easy to undo. The poly engine mounts have to rank in my top 10 list of best bang-for-the-buck basic F-body mods.

So do you guys that daily drive your cars with solid mounts have problems with your knock sensors or anything else? I'm wanting to get a set of solid mounts myself but don't want them to cause problems.
