ya use poly, running a solid tranny mount without solid motor mounts is a really bad idea

use matching mounts like all solid mounts or all poly mounts using a solid mount somewhere else will cause the poly mount to rip apart

they are on the summit webiste. they look pretty much like the energy suspesion ones but a little cheaper. ive been hearing a lot of good things for the energy suspesion so i think ill spend the money and go with them. you get what you pay for right. haha
