Default how nasty are solid motormounts?

I'm looking for motormounts for my 5.0,

how nasty of a ride will solid motormounts make on a street car? is it a bad idea to run solid mounts on a street car?

the solid ones don't have therubber molded inserts....they are just cut, bent and welded pieces of metal...cheaper to make
