Replacing SS/SC mounts with SS/TC mounts?

I am looking to replace the lower trans and engine mounts with the SS TC mounts, since mine are probably due for changing. I have heatd that the TC mounts are slightly stiffer, but are these a worthwhile upgrade compared to the stock SS SC mounts? Has anyone here upgraded to them and comment on the difference?

Also, no suggesting rotated mounts. I am well aware that they exist and what they are capable of doing. I don't drag, track, or really beat on my car, so these are not really worth it to me. Not to mention I don't want to deal with an increase of vibrations

The SS/TC mounts are much better than the stock SS/SC mounts, but I would still recommend looking into OTTP's rotated trans mounts.

I run the OTTP/Powel Stage 1 Rotated Trans mount + GMPP Rear Trans mount, and have zero wheel hop.

if you dont launch your car or race it just get sc mounts. if you do race it TC mounts well still give you wheel hop. diffently go with ottp......but again if you dont race and just have it as a DD then just keep it the same. i had the tc mounts on my car and it was ok but when you do launch it, it does have wheel hop

depends. the tc/ss mounts are the gmpp lsj wheel hop kit mounts. If price is similar just get the powell mounts stage 1. if you drag race get stage 2. I have powell stage 1 and there are slightly more vibes but it feels better.

Ive had both ottp stage 1 and gmpp. I only do the occasional WOT pull in between red lights so the added vibs (which most could live with) from the ottp weren't worth it to me so i switched back to gmpp..... I like to modify my car as if it could of come from the factory with the mods ive done. The tc mounts are def worth it over the sc mounts though. Ive got my ottp stage 1 for sale if you want it just pm me

Yep, the answer I was looking for.

I can get new TC mounts from the dealer for next to nothing, so I wil just go with those
