I like my Prothane poly mounts that I bought from the ws6store. I left the trans mount stock. I noticed minimal extra vibration after these were installed.

Well, I am sure I wont find my slips from the track to show my differences. I am not sure if you have ever run the solids to give a credible decision that you would suggest using poly's. I have run both and I have given away the poly's to friend's because they suck. They do the same work a stock rubber mount will do. I have not changed anything on my car other than the solids and whether you believe me or not, that's how much time I dropped. I have never felt a car pull as hard. Solids in my own opinion outlast and outperform the poly's any day of the week. Guys here on tech have seen me at the track before and after my swap and even saw me do a 360 on the track after my radiator hose busted and wet my tires. I am not here to lie to the op, I was just here giving the guy my input or shall I say my opinion. To the op, whatever decision you make I vote for the solids. They last longer and outperform poly's..from my personal experience and my opinion.

I ended up getting the poly kit from ws6store. Got the poly tranny mount also. Going to install them this weekend. Looks like a pita.

I have a 2000 Z28 A4. I already bought the Energy Poly Trans Mount about 4 months ago, now my car is in storage for the winter. So with that trans mount, I should go with Poly Motor Mounts.??

How bad is the vibration in A4's??

I've got poly engine and tranny mounts and I don't have any more vibration than the rubber ones. Mine is a vert though. Its also a manual.
