Solid mounts

After doing some reading I see some recommend solid motor mounts and diff mounts? Does anyone on here have actually solid block mounts? If so how do you like them? I don't mind the vibrations

C6 Aluminum Motor Mounts

Solid billet aluminium motor mounts.

CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminium and assembled with grade 8 hardware. Total weight assembled is 1.05lbs.

I think you have to call them because I dont see them for C6 anymore but im pretty sure they are same as C5 i paid $100 shipped.

solid motor mounts coupled with rubber diff mounts puts a lot of stress on the bell housing. Keep an eye out for cracks on the bell housing.

Solid/Solid will have a little vibration around 2-3k.

Have you personally had solid/solid? If so, did you like it? Less wheel hop? I don't mind the vibration

It wasn't a deal breaker. If you run cats, I'd not recommend them. I liken it to that. The harhness is there, but it's only really evident at idle, when stationary.

No cats, single rear mounted turbo car. Thanks for the info.

I talked to rpm and they said the same thing and told me to change my rear control arm bushings to poly or spherical.
