My warranty will cover the rubber ones when they fail
My questions are:
What is the REAL purpose? Yes I know that there will be less delay because the rubber flexes, and people say it helps put the power down (or something to that effect) but wouldn't that be temporary until the rubber flex is maxed out?
And if you lock down the transmission (or motor) with solid mounts, do you NEED the other mount?
I'll try to check when I get home. It's somewhere in the box of "crap I'll install once it's not 105 outside".

Your warranty won't really cover the OEM mounts when they fail, since it'll take way too long for them to ever fail if they haven't already. The car will feel more responsive, since that little bit of slop in the OEM mounts has to be compressed every time you touch the throttle. For lack of a better term, the car will just feel tighter. I would do all of the mounts, since individually I'd doubt you would see enough of a difference to make it worth the effort. As a set, you should feel the change from the rubber mounts.

I know you said solid, but you meant poly, right? Solid motor mounts are for masochists and track cars only.
