Default Solid engine mounts

Anybody tried these babies yet?
http://www.rennline.com/Rennline-Sol...oductinfo/M08/

Any other solid engine mounts out there? I know the X73 comes with more rigid mounts, but they are rubber as well.
Other than a harsher (louder) ride, any concerns?
I'm thinking doing this and a set of swaybars, either TPC or GMG.
Suggestions?

I really like parts made by Rennline... Really do... But... Putting a solid motormount on a street driven car will be a miserable mistake. There are a BUNCH of other options out there that are reasonably priced... Excellent thread over on 6speedsonline on this very subject!

WEVO are solid and good upgrade, have a soft core for some give. makes shifting at WOT a little smoother but this upgrade is way down the list, first is suspension, then suspension, then suspension, then brakes!
For DE all this car really needs is a rear GT3 sway bar, cheap, hollow, light.
Glad to see you are upgrading, car will be amazing with a new set of coilovers.

Thanks Tom, got your message. Guess the engine mounts are on the backburner then.
Mike, thanks for the advise. Car is not much of a driver, maybe 1 day a week? More of a track rat/DE car. Will post feedback after install.
