How many engine tranny mounts are there? Three, right? One flat engine mount, one engine yoke, and one tranny yoke is what Im remembering here.

Which is better for ride quality and durability: solid mounts, poly, or OEM?

Ride quality oem. Soft absorbs vibrations, going around corners poly, drag racing solid.

enhanced handling with lesser compromise in comfort, then is poly?

Again, we have the 3 mounts, right?

Thanks for the response, Bob. I appreciate it.

I'd sure like to get the strut tower braces before too long. I put a front tower brace on a Maxima I had a few... well... no, many years ago.

I was night-n-day difference on all but the very sharpest corners. The faster the corner or curve, the more noticeable the difference.

I got to the point where I was really looking forward to freeway on- and off-ramps.

TBat, as per our phone convo about 2 months ago: you said the Monroe SensaTrac All-in-one, right? What was that thing you were talking about, again?

Your advice on springs, for my application, was to stay OE GP, right?

I do remember you saying that the GMPP kit, tubular rear arms, and STBs forward and aft will do what I want the car to do.

I'm about to receive a travel settlement from the Army, and just wanna refresh my memory.
