    i was looking online and i came across the zzp shorter dog bones...and then i came acorss the solid motor mounts. i was wondering if either of these would b a good investment? would either help out performance considerably?

    btw i have factory suspension and factory motor mounts and im installing my zzp 3 inch downpipe in 2 days so consider that too please

    Solid motor mounts are worthless. I had one from ZZP and it squashed in less than a year. Get yourself a regular fluid filled one, drain the fluid out, and get yourself some mix your own poly-urethane and make a poly mount. I can link you to a writeup that I did. PM me if you want it.

    It is all a preference of how you want your car to feel. If you go with solids, you will get more vibration, etc. than if you stick with the stockers. The response gains are there, but minimal. If yours are OK, I would stick with the stockers. There are better mods to spend money on if yours are OK.

    why not? wont cars at regular height also benefit from the added torque, that is recovered by straightening out the cv shafts a little?

    no. by doing this to a stock car you are forcing the axles out of alignment.

    And don't do this either...

    You can go to Auto Zone and buy solid rubber ones for cheap. Just ask for them.
