[vwrascal]

Two totally different bushes.

The above is for 2009 and on cars.  Looks to be a more substantial bush too!

The above is for cars up to 2008.

Which one should I go for... the ECS one or the Neuspeed one.

Incidentally, Neuspeed list two different torque arm inserts (see link below)...anyone know what that is about?

It's just that, rightly or wrongly, I have the impression that Awesome prices are on the steep side.

In any case, I've ordered it from them...

Hi
The main problem we have at the moment is the exchange rate
The £ against the $ is very very poor , and the price on shipping items in has gone up extreamly high
So to this , we have had to tighten our belts
Then when they come in to this country....well , we get the import duty  and that is enough to scare and make a saint swear!!!$39.95 these are om ECS`s web site , then the shipping and then the import duty , I dont think that is too bad when it comes to our price

Exchange rates are poo...

But if it helps, Powerflex do one for £16.74 inc VAT - just buy a new bolt from the dealers. They're good enough for Milltek, as that's what they supply with the exhausts.

Cheers folks... I thought I'd go for the ECS one from Awesome as it had all the bits.

Hi
Yes Milltek supply these with their exhausts , but to be fair , we fitted a downpipe yesterday and the Powerflex part that came with it , we did not fit it
The guy wanted the ECS one instead
We supply a number of different items as not everyone wants the same
The MK4 dog mount from Powerflex we do at £13 ish , and the majority of Skoda drivers like the Superpro , 3 times the price , but it is down to personal taste

Hi Sarah,

Does the Superpro fit the GTi, and why is it so much more?

[AwesomeSarah]

On the MK4`s yes they do , but to be fair , we are just looking at being a Super pro dealer
Suppose you can never offer too many variations!!!!!
But to be fair , the Skoda lot seem to think that Superpro does not vibrate as much on the deisel`s

Mine's in having its post track day checks and apparently the ECS mount is royally f***ed.

I'll have some pics later, but at less than 5k/6 months old - it'll be being sent back for a refund. Lucky I had another to replace it.

Utter turd, it has fallen apart.

That doesn't bode well... I should inspect mine soon.
I was planning on replacing with the BSH kit anyway...

[john_o]

well i agree it hasnt held up well
BUT
the important 'finger' bits that fill in the voids on the OE mount look to be OK and therefore functioning ok ?

Agreed, but at only 6 months old, that's pretty bad. The disc holds the fingers and as soon as that's gone, the fingers will possibly come out of their void positions?

I'd be interested in seeing some older, higher mileage ones.

  That's not good!! I wonder if that shows the weaknesses in the ECS, or the extensive amount of movement between the transmission mount and the subframe....
