Solid Engine Mounts? Solid beam/diff mounts?
Does anyone run solid engine mounts in their cossie?
If so how much extra vibration & noise do you get over uprated type?
Also same applies to rear diff mount, I'm thinking of mounting the beam soldidly....has anyone doe this and again what are the disadvantages.

I'm just of the opinion that if the vibrations arent going to be that bad then I can save probably over 200 quid by making my own mounts at work in machine shop...money to spend elsewhere on ym project.

They work really well,
As 4 solid mountin the diff, i had a really simple T bracket made up, got rid of the shaged old bush n just simply bolted it all up, its been fine ive done over a 1000 miles with no problems, a couple of hard launches, can email u some photos if u need, its a cheap option, well worth it

i use the solid beam mounts on the road/track..... doesnt make to much difference noise wise compared to the poly ones really. i use a standard diff mount rather than a poly/soild one , apparently using the two together is noisey!
transforms the handling btw top mod

ive just changed my standard engine and gearbox mounts on the evo for a set of Powerflex poly ones, and the in car vibration has definitely increased a lot, but its only noticeable at idle and when pulling away. I also fitted a twin plate clutch at the same time so dont know if the clutch is contributing towards the higher in car vibrations being felt.

Failing that I'll have to wait and search ebay for some.
