Engine mounts / bushes for Stage 1 ED30?
« on: January 15, 2012, 10:18:13 pm »
Hi all,

I'm looking to have my ED30 Stage 1 Revo'd within the next couple of months. I've read that upgraded bushes and engine mounts are worth fitting to help stop wheel hop in 1st and 2nd gear. Can anyone recommend which bushes / mounts please?

At the moment I'm unsure whether I'll be taking the car further than Stage 1 or not.

Thanks  :happy2:

What's your budget and how do you drive the car?

Small budget then just go for the dogbone insert bush and some front wishbone rear Superpro bushes.

If the budget is larger then the THS upper engine mounts mated with the Vibratechnics lower mount.  Then the Superpro anti lift rear bush or TT lower arms.

I'm not planning to track the car, I just want to reduce wheel hop when it's Stage 1 Revo'd and I take it drag racing. I've been recommended this: http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=43511&xSec=158 over the ECS mount dogbone insert
