Solids are easier to work around because they are just a tube instead of the pedestal setup. They are also lighter. They do vibrate a little at idle, and nothing after that.
Poly mounts are the solid's retarded cousin.
Guess which mount I own.

prothanes here, no complaints don't mind the extra shakes, makes the car feel way more solid, plus i wont be removing them when i install the new clutch like the solids but i did do some debating between the two either way you will like the change they make im sure.

I just installed Prothane ones. My tranny mount was broken (probably for a long time) and I ended up breaking the pass side motor mount. It didn't bang or make any noises though until the motor mount went. Kinda sucked because it was a pain to get the mounts to line up to get it back together.
Took about 8 hours total. most of the time spent just getting the new mounts to line up enough to get the long bolts in. man that was a pain! I was told after they break in if I pull the long bolts and move the engine they will go back in easily without all the prying and crap. I hope that is true because I'll be installing LT headers sometime soon.

i have solids in mine, and once your driving and such it dosnt feel any different than the stock ones, the time you can tell though is when your idling, the car rocks back and forth alittle with the engine, but nothing you cant handle. one part though that ipsses me off is at around 2200 rpm's the car shacks just as it's about to shift into the next gear, but i heard that was normal.

for whoever said you have to remove the mounts for a clutch, you are mistaken. With the assistance of a lift and airtools, I can have my tranny out on the ground in under 30 minutes. I unbolt the k-frame from the body and have it sit on a screwjack. This allows for much more room than bending the stock rubber mounts.

its up to you which ever you decide, maybe someone told me wrong about having to remove the solids to replace a clutch but like i said either way you go you will like the feel of it over stock.

It works really well this way and saves a bunch of hassles.
