yeah i have poly on my car and i love it the only vibration i get is between 1000 and 2000 rpms, and above 55mph. the only reason i get the vibration at 1000 to 2000 is cuz there is only 1000 miles on them and they havent broken in yet.
ps. i got mine from chris at banzai racing.......visit banzairacing.net and check them out.

they are a ton stiffer than the stock mounts and obviously not as stiff as solid mounts...

As a compromise, how about the "engine torque brace" sold by Racing Beat? In effect, it accomplishes much the same as the solid mounts by bracing the motor against twisting from its torque. It has rubber bushings that you can adjust to help limit vibration. At about $70, it's not too expensive. On the downside, it adds clutter to the engine compartment, and it tends to get in the way when you work in the firewall area.
I'm not recommending this, I'm just throwing the idea out as a target for everyone to take pot shots at because I'd like to see your opinions.
