What are the advantages/disadvantages to solid mounts? Are they worth the money on a daily driver that will at most be putting out 500rwhp, or should I just stick with the OEM mounts?

stick with OEM mounts... solid mounts are nice and cheap usually, but transfer every bit of engine vibration to the cabin...

CDY

Awesome, thanks for the help! Should I replace the tranny mounts the same time I do the engine? My SC is approaching the 125k mark and to my knowledge none of the mounts have been changed yet.

solid motor mounts will make the ride rougher . The cars I've been in with them shook a lotmore than normal. Horse power should improve slightly. Handling should improve noticeably as well since you were running old stock ones. I'm all for it tho. Good luck.

Rode in my buddies stripped 240 with solid mounts...wow, as a daily i couldn't handle it...WAY too much vibration.

Sounds like you should get some TRD mounts. Stiffer than stock but not as harsh as the PHR solid ones.

I'd go with Toyota Supra Mounts (1996+.. the newer ones, NOT the 93-95). Direct replacement, and I believe they're a bit stiffer than the factory lexus mounts. I have these on my car, no complaints at all.

$130 for the pair.. slight discount from the Toyota dealership

Yeah, the 98-spec ones from Toyota dealerships are good too.

I need new mounts as well, not sure if I'm going to go with the 98 ones or TRD.

Allen, I'm running the same mounts in my car. I got them from the local dealership for the same price

Thanks again for your help, guys! I think I found the TRD mounts online for $130, am I right?

Its weird that solid mounts give so much vibration in imports i guess its the unibody. I have some moroso solid mounts in my el camino and you cant even feel any extra vibration or anything...
