has anyone mounted the front suspension solid to frame and not used the rubber mounts? Please reply from an "I have done this" position. I know everyone has done it stock, but isn't that is what the suspension does, seems a bit dangerous..

 

It is to prevent vibration and noise from the road coming into the car. When these cars were being raced, (and I have seen them racing at Silverstone !), I believe the suspension was bolted on solid, but then refinement isn't needed in a racer. If you do this on your car, it will become very rough and noisy. Those old Jaguar engineers in the 50s knew their stuff.

 

I think the car that CMC has done for Cullum is mount solid,from what you can read.

 

I guess I am good then, I have removed everything
that prevents feed back from the road.
I want to feel the tires bend in a turn. I have added
a rear sway bar and 6.5" road wheels. My wife wanted
a hot rod!

 

All the tar removed from area to be welded, both rear mounts were broken, dirty job, jeeez

 

Many people mount it on solid mounts or stiffer poly mounts there is no safety issues it is just more for luxury versus performance/feel.
