solid motor mounts

Is anybody using solid motor mounts? If so how bad does the car vibrate? are they worth it or should I just put the stock ones back in . I am buying the paracing k member and might use the solid motor mounts when I put the motor back in

If It were my car I would not run solid mounts especially for street driving. If the car is being build just for the track that's another story.

I have a couple friends with them, they arent nearly as bad as people make them out to be. Granted they arent daily driver material, but sounds like you have a pretty stout motor. I say go for it.

if you're feeling for it, ofcourse you can tell.

but if the exhaust is already dumping under the car, the vibrations are going to be about the same...
