i'm gonna keep an eye on this thread. MTI recently discovered I had a busted motor mount, little did i know, so they just replaced both with stock mounts. i asked them about it and they said they normally just put in stockers on all of their cars unless otherwise requested

I had Spohn's solid mounts in my '98 Z28. No complaints here. I'm thinking about throwing some in the TA.

I put in polyurethane E-Suspension mounts at 95k along with my header install. Absolutely love them. At 4,000 engine vibration are so minor you can easily talk with the passenger and I have ory and a cutout...lol.

I have the prothane ones, they make a big difference in feel. I liked it a lot

my shifter used to rattle back and forth a LOT while idling with the stock mounts. I put these in and it tightened everything up

On a stock cam? Idle never was an issue. Either way it eliminated all my shifter play.
