While solid mounts offer better performance, I couldn’t stand the noise in my old Chevy. Vibrating seats aren’t quite the luxury I imagined! A little comfort goes a long way for daily driving.
I heard that some aftermarket motor mounts can be downright noisy. I guess you have to weigh your options if you’re building for power or just want a comfy ride. Any tips for reducing noise?
Ha! If you want quiet, you might be looking at the wrong hobby. But yeah, maybe adding some sound insulation could help with the noise issue.

Choosing the right motor mount really is a balancing act. I used to think ‘harder is better,’ but after using a softer mount, I appreciate the reduced noise and vibration—it’s a more enjoyable experience overall.
Hey everyone! I’m looking to upgrade my motor mounts on my Chevy, and I would love to hear about your experiences. What brands have worked well for you?
I’ve had a great experience with Energy Suspension mounts. They made a noticeable difference in how my Chevy handles. Highly recommend them!
I’ve always been a fan of has Performance mounts. They’re reliable and handle the power well, especially if you’re pushing your Chevy hard. Just make sure to check the reviews!
I’ve heard mixed reviews about Energy Suspension, though. Some say they’re great for performance, but others find them a bit too stiff for daily driving.

If you’re looking for something more budget-friendly, Prothane mounts are not bad! I installed them on my Chevy a year ago and they’ve held up surprisingly well.
I agree! Prothane offers great value for money. However, make sure to check the compatibility for your specific model.
I went with solid mounts from Sikky, and let me tell you, they feel solid! But don’t expect much comfort on long drives. It’s a trade-off for performance, really.
I’ve wondered about those! Are they suitable for a daily driver, or mainly for racing applications?

More of a track kind of deal, honestly. If you’re doing a lot of regular driving, I’d stick with something like the Energy or Prothane mounts. But it depends on your needs!
I’ve heard there are issues with some brands having poor quality control. Always check online reviews before buying! You don’t want a mount that fails and ruins your day.
Exactly! Sometimes it feels like a gamble when choosing aftermarket parts. Just gotta trust the community reviews!
