I went the "solid mounting" route with one poly upper and one stock upper, poly transmission mount and solid rubber front and rear engine mounts. Increase in motor and tranny noise is very noticeable but I really don't mind it. Vibration at idle (9KT 5-speed)isn't noticeably increased and images in mirrors are clear at all times. The biggest change came from installing the poly transmission mount. Shifting is quite sharp now and never misses, lever doesn't thrash around with acceleration or deceleration like it used to. Still I can see why some people would not like this setup as it loses the "luxury car" smoothness thing and you know there's an engine at work, especially below 3,000 rpm.
