well.. technically... that would be (nearly) infinitely stiffer... I've heard horror stories of engine damage from solid mounts in come of my previous car communities. Most of them were retarted so I don't know how much truth there is to that.

You do not need those, but know how they work. (PS. Mazda Comps are 36 dollars)
