If your running standard suspension you don't really feel it.

But I recently stiffened all the front end of my car and fitted a rebuilt axle with o/e mounts, and on cornering it felt like the back end was going to overtake me

Once I fitted solid rear mounts, it made a huge difference

It does allow late turn in, feels odd if you aint going quick enough. Solid mounts make it feel planted but take some of the fun factor away from the car. If they steer easily your mounts might be worn out. New rubber mounts ftw!
