Default solid motor mounts

Are solid motor mounts a bad idea? Anyone on here have them and do you like them or not? Thanks.

I run them. It's not very noticable, they cost less, strong, and transfer the power to the wheel. I still run a rubber trans mount though. Bcause the tail shafts are weak on the 5 speed.

I have them and like them alot. My car is fully built with big cams which makes the mirrors unuseable and makes the ground vibrate but looks cool when the car is rocking.

Mine doesn't vibrate that much. I'm fully built, but my cams a not huge. You don't need huge cams for FI. The guy told me the better built and smoother running the car is the less you'll noticed.

To the op I really don't think you need much more than stock right now.

yeah i know im nowhere near the power level requiring solid mounts but i have the stock ones in there and the driver side is starting to pull apart and thought I would ask and see if there is a noticable difference in vibration and if it is annoying as hell to drive everyday or not. Thanks for the input.

Mine have an advertise duration of 292* with an actual duration at .050 of 242 not small on duration. That's where I get the power from these not the lift it's only .531.
