Lower engine mounts

[Carrera2RS]

I have been reading up on engine mounts, and considering the THS or VWR lower mount. Has anyone compared ?

Jony o and Robin's reviews very helpful

I am not sure why the THS group buy did full set or top only ?  I do find the transmission a little soft and can envoke wheel hope. At the moment I drive smoothly and drive round. So I amthinking about the THS bottom mount only as the VWR is a lot of money and 'might' be too harsh.

I found the full TBE Miltek too quiet with resonated but a little boomy at 3k and reasonable throttle on the motorway (resolved with a little sound deadoning in trye well and boot using dynamat extreme)

Any thoughts appreciated

VWR lower mount has a machined outer casing and bolts , as opposed to more OE like plastic casing for the THS lower.
I would buy the full THS set  lol (which would be about the same price as just the lower VWR!), you can fit the upper mounts later 

Lets face it no matter how nice the VWR mounts are they are expensive (but very well made), do you need that extra enginneering ? Id say not for the lower mount.
THS would be just fine and considerably cheaper.
Dont forget lower can have higher fitting costs (unless you DIY) , plus geometry check after is advised (but not mandatory)

My review states I should always have done all 3 mounts together, i still stand by that, although I do recognise that it may be a step too far for many GTI fans in terms of noise + vibration.
