WS6 store has prothane motor mounts and tranny mount for 60 bucks. Are these any good? Any recomendations? Searched several sponsers but got tired of doing that too?

If it's a daily driver, I would go with poly's. Solids will work, but I hear they can be annoying in traffic, especially if you have a sticky clutch. Poly's give you the best of both worlds... stiffness and drivability. I hear that the solids are great as long as you're not in first gear (stop and go driving).

Yes Prothane are the same as poly. Prothane is the company. And poly is the material. Prothane or Energy Suspension make poly mounts for our cars. Just had mine put in. Like previously stated they are a PIA. I had a friend do mine for 150. Worth the money to me. What a tremendous improvement it made though. +1 for prothane.

prothane motor MOUNTS is the one I have on my car! They work good and with the cam the whole engine don't shake like it did!

Yea, sorry. Half of everything is poly around here, I just forgot to say Prothane the one time it wasn't.

when you put them in do you use the factory metal bracket or did you get a new one??
i got a set from energy suspension and have sense been told they dont even make them for the ls1 but i dont have the metal brackets and i was wondering if there is a company that sold them??

i just completed my poly mount swap... Prothane Poly mounts from Summit racing.. around$50

i did mine while my heads and accessories were off.. and i did it as a 1 man job...

only pain in the *** i had, was drilling out the rivets in the clam shells.. kind of a bitch.. hammered in the new poly mounts as far as i could get them in, then used the bolts to pull the mounts in more and closed..

the other bitch was attaching the mounts to the block.. trying to line that up in the frame mount and to the engine sucked.. but once you get one in.. the other 3 are easier...

i got the long bolt for the driver side in, no problem.. then i lined up the passenger side as best as i could.. got a hammer and pouned that sucker in there.. had to hit it pretty hard, but its a 10.9 bolt so its strong...

when it wasn't lined up we got a long crow bar and moved the whole mount then got them in pretty easy only if we would have thought of that 3 hrs earlier!!!

I did mine while doing the H/C swap. 2 guys and it took us about 6 hours. PITA

The alignment was a pain.

Are you guys doing both side motor mounts or just one? what about the Tranny mount?

prothane tranny and engine mounts, couldnt be any happier!

quite a few just do the drivers side since IMO its the easier of the two to get to and the engine lifts from that side as well.

Any vibrating with all three done?

The vibrations with the polyurethane mounts on automatic transmissions are terrible. Stock piece is going back in.

The motor mounts are great though.
