engine mounts - what type is best to get?
« on: March 17, 2012, 10:27:56 pm »
I've found that I get a squeak when I pull away from standing still no idea why, got it in my head its the engine mounts, so was wondering which uprated ones are best to get :stupid:
thinking towards the THS ones so far

I had a full set of VF Engineering ones in my last vRS. They made it sound like a 6 Pot Turbo which was rather nice. Not too harsh either at motorway speeds.

Been happy with the BSH ones. Makes a rough / raw engine sound in the cabin but in a very nice way

I have BSH mounts. They keep everything tight under there. VF seems to be a bit softer from what others think, and Black Forrest Industries (BFI) has three stages of mounts so you have more options with them. Guys that chose BFI seem happy with BFI's stage 2 mounts.

Has to be the Vibratechnics mounts.  Easy to get and at a good price now that VWR are not exclusive on them.

Not everybody likes the sounds which having aftermerket engine mounts transfer to the cabin but I love them! Grrrrrrrrr !!.......

As said in john_o and my reviews, it's best to go for all three mounts.

The squeak described might be another bush such as on the front ARB, though that would tend to occur whenever the suspension flexes.

Where's the best place to get them Alex?
I take it all three are a must?
