Best to do a search, I make solid rear beam mounts and I really like the difference they make to the handling, but a certain member on here has given he a hard time for my opinions on rear end sway induced by the passive rear steer from rubber mounted rear beams. IMO the standard setup is a perfectly good system when in good condition and driven under normal limits, but it's a flawed design with respect to high speed/track driving as the gometry is affected by bumps and braking. This passive rear steer can be very helpful under certain circumstances, but by the same token it can also be very unhelpful. Solid mounts remove all traces of rear steer and allow the suspension to move in one plane only (Up and down) I have found this increases stability especially on fast sweeping curves especially if they are bumpy.
