Noise and also stops the engine flexing in the bay which can put stress on things like turbo down pipes etc

There's quite a lot of slack in the oem ones so to tighten everything up and prevent wheelspin, uprated engine mounts is a must  :wink:

I have BSH side mounts and THS lower mount. There not intrusive and transmit a good sound into the cabin.

Benefits are pretty much no wheel hop and reduced wheel spin, very little engine movement if at all and therefore better gear changes and no broken exhaust downpipes and as above tightens everything up at the front.

Can someone post a link to the engine mounts that need replacing to improve the gear change as its quite poor for such a nice sporty car (Edition 30) . Is it a DIY job?

Uprated engine mounts are an absolute must and one of my best mods. They go hand-in-hand with any serious power increases you're planning to make. I went for the full VWR set-up (Side engine mount, Transmission mount and Lower engine mount) however by all accounts the THS mounts will do the same job. Highly recommended.  :wink:
