I wish cars were less confusing.
Poly mounts are engine mounts with polyurethane as the dampening material instead of the softer, more forgiving rubber in the stock mounts.

Thus, the poly restrict the movement of the engine, harnessing it better to be transferred to the tires. A Solomon byproduct is increased vibrations due to the stiffness of the poly

Okay in simple terms, it gives more direct route of sorts from engine to tires?

Yeah. When you rev the engine, it rocks some. Well with polys, the engine doesn't move... Like at all.
