What kind of application are we talking about here?

Solid mounts are great for drag racing, but if you want to drive on the street for pleasure or cruisin', they'll keep your kidneys clear of stones if you know what I mean.

A tie-down chain (with about 1/2 link's slack) with regular mounts would be my advise unless it's strictly for 1/4 mile at a time.

If it is strictly for racing, then I'd do solids and a tie-down chain.


My .02 cents.
