I split my driver side mount and am looking to upgrade.

The Pfadts are what Im looking at, but with a aftermarket clutch, blower, 427ci motor, 770 horse etc.. I dont want to the vibration that some people talk about with the them.

I thought I also saw someone make mention about the prothane mounts dropping the motor another 1.5"?

Any input will help. Thanks.

My prothanes didn't drop the motor any at all.... same height... Some (minimal to me) vibration, very beefy.... They give me warm fuzzies that my motor wont be climbing out of the hood...

Went to put a set of Torque Solution mounts on it last week but it'll wait until winter. Gotta drop the headers to get to the bolts on the engine.

I just decided to go with the stock ones again. I didnt want to sacrifice the ride quality as of yet. If I break through this set I will give something else a try.

And I know a couple people that went with the pfadts... they said the vibration goes away almost completely after a couple hundred miles.

sent from my galaxy s3. that would explain the errors.

Called the dealer to check on the ZL1 motor mounts and they told me that they are the same as the manual(LS3) mounts. Only the auto(L99) are different.

Can someone else confirm this. Need to replace one that broke.

I got ZL1 mounts. You might want to call a different dealer as my parts guy was able to find the difference. I noticed a difference after installing too.

Supposedly the part# for the manual SS and ZL-1 were the same.

Do you have the part# to the ones you bought?

If not just sell me your stock one for now.
