Where do buy the poly mounts at?

I don't see the poly ones..don't you think solid is too much for a street car though and could break something?

So, my humble advise to those who want to get benefit of poly mounts, but want to give up as little comfort as possible, just replace the driver's side motor mount with poly and leave the pax side mount and trans mount alone (or use the 1LE trans mount).

Okay, I have all stock mounts and a nasty cam with true duals dumped and my motor and car both shake and rumble. Any change in the bin will be rattling like a begger's cup. Also my shifter shakes back and forth with the motor. (did that stock, even) Does this mean my stock mounts are shot?
I like it, as it's cool as hell. Could going poly or even solid be any worse than what I'm already seeing? And what's this I hear about KR with solids???? That's a major detail on a DD car, especially for me out here with crummy gas and big heat. I want my knock sensors fully functional, thankyouverymuch.

I guarantee that with poly mounts you will be surprised how smooth the engine feels even when it lopes...

Having an aftermarket K-member doesn't preclude use of the stock motor mounts. It would have been a good time to swap them for poly, but doesn't mean it was done. The poly mounts reuse the stock "clamshell" so its difficult to tell just by looking under there too. If you can get a good look, then check whether the stock "clamshell" brackets bolted to the block are still riveted together. If so then you will still have the rubber mounts.
I've never used solid mounts, so can't help there...

Well having done this i must say that the Poly motor and Poly Trans Mount were the best thing for me...also thepoly will work best with all the aftermarket K-members i have considered making this a great start for upgrades..
I would recommend these to any!

You guys that are only doing a poly mount on one side - you do know that they raise the engine right? Your motor is going to sit slightly angled to one side. I'm not sure if this affects anything, but remember its bolted to the transmission so wouldn't this turn the tranny a little bit also?
