Rear end?? Solid or rubber?

[Alan_M]

What cully describes is not how new genuine mounts act, the flex is more linear and predictable. What he describes is how tired mounts act, you have to preload the mount before you really turn in or the back end can be very unpredictable, as described it's like a second bite.
Solids obviously get rid of this unpredictability and IMO essential on a circuit car, they allow predictable rear end grip and make it easier to get the rear end to rotate which you then control with the throttle (and your also essential plated LSD ).


Genuine rubbers on a road car, solids on a circuit car

I fitted new Lemforder mounts to my rebuilt VTS beam, and it's extremely predictable. I've never had the rear end snap out, only when I've purposely triggered it and even then you have to be fairly violent with it. It'll quite happily cock a rear wheel in the air though. 

Snappy rear end, try a 205 with a shagged beam on P6000's in the wet. 

Solids vs Rubbers (poly?). Rubbers for a road car every time. My 205 has solids in it, it's not for an everyday car.
