Engine mounts - Preferences?
2000 M6 117k, daily driver and stock except for LT-headers, Z06 springs, Hotchkis F/R swaybars, Moog endlinks, Bilstein HD dampeners.
For some time I have been noticing vibrations from what I think are failed or failing engine mounts. I mostly cruise and rarely push the engine.

I am looking at the OEM-height Hinson "solid" motor mounts as a replacement for the likely failed hydraulic mounts. I get the feeling that perfectly-rigid motor mounts transfer excessive vibration and I remember reading they could break things. It seems like these urethane mounts offer superior durability and control with minor increases in vibration. I'm pairing this upgrade with an HPI Differential mount.
Thank you for reading, opinions appreciated!
