Solid Motor mounts (Stupid Question??)

All this talk about engine torque brace's had me thinking, does anyone make solid motor mounts for our cars. I know that this is how most people solve this issue with high horse power cars, but what about the rx-7. I know mazdaspeed makes motor mounts but I didn't think they where solid. Any thoughts? Maybe I will embark on a new adventure.

Thanks ISUposs, that is a great idea, I think I will do that instead of the engine torques brace which I don't really care for.

I think solid motor mounts are completely out of place in a street car. Even the high density urethane mounts will be "barely streetable" from what I've heard.

Why are you considering this option, wickedrx7?
