Sorry if i have missed it somewhere James are you saying that there is not much of a difference with the VF mounts compared to standard, i mean in the cabin with vibrations.
first couple of hundred miles after having them installed the difference between stock and mounts was night and day, was vibrations while idling and in low gears going along, the break pedal also vibrated a bit too and cabin noise was quite alot more noticeable. i was a little concerned...
have given it a good long drive today and pushed it pretty hard
overall done around 400 miles on them
got home and took my g/f to supermarket and she commented that the noise and vibrations were not as bad as before, which confirmed what i felt on the drive back as i got in to the congestion in London, but still more noticeable than pre mounts.
they seemed to have settled in, though still very much noticeable in terms of feel of the car, gear changes, breaking and cornering all feels sturdier.
