Does this setup seem like it would cause any problems?

Also, what are your guys' feelings on steel vs aluminum flywheels? I'm thinkin about getting an aluminum Spec flywheel with a stage 3 clutch. Those will be getting balanced.

I want input cause I don't feel like having something happen from this kind of setup that I didn't know about.

you will be able to feel much more vibration with all the solid mounts, thats a personal preference on whether thats a bad thing or not.

Na. I like the "in-tune" feeling. I'm just curious about anything breaking/warping/wearing out prematurely.

why poly motor mounts with solid trans mount? i always heard it was better for the trans mount to have a little give.

i have no complaints with my aluminum fidanza flywheel

The transmission mount I want may not fit cause I'm not sure how my crossmember is different. It's custom. If I can't get a poly mount I'm just gonna make it solid.

i dont ever recommend a solid trans mount because yo will be putting stress on the trans case... if theres no flex in the mount the case will flex = broken transmission.
