Stock vs. Solid motor mounts?

[Stanglover96]

Mine are shot and I saw some solids from Energy Suspension and thought what's the difference and which are better?

solid are something for racing only, and I mean it. I had solid aluminum engine mount for my 4AG-E pwered old MR2, and made it ride like horse drawn buggy...

ok to elaborate on that... the solids are much better as far as preformance goes, takes away some of the driveline losses.. but your car will vibrate (the engine cant move in its spot so it moves the whole car.. if you can deal with the shaking(wich isnt really that bad) then go for it, it personally dosnt bother me, so id go with the solids..

if its not daily driver, thats not that bad. if it is daily driver, then it can get bit annoying after awhile

if you are runing alot of power i would go with soild mounts ,thats what we are going with!!!!

Solid mounts are for RACE cars, not street cars..........

Poly mounts hold up well and are less noisy.
I had all Poly on my fox with plenty of 4K drops with DR'S with no problems.

now alot of people have diffrent thoughts about what is for street and what is for race, or maybe around here we are just crazy... stroked 351(393) witha raunchy cam and a carb in a fox with solid mounts is considered a street car around here

the way i see it, no matter how insane my car gets, i'm going to drive it at least a couple days a week, i didnt buy the damn thing to be a paperweight.. and i'll do anything that makes it faster, if that means having to deal with the vibrations, so be it, but solid mounts are better for the preformance.

Dude whatever !!!!

Solids are not for a daily driver, no way no how.

Most racer wanna be's don't make enough HP for solids in the first place.

Being a ACFT Mech Vibration is hard on parts.
Bottom line is you need some give or your gonna break somthing !!!
