....Try Ben (Dubtek boss) on 01392 811601 (Exeter, Devon).
I don't think BSH offer a lower mount though, unless you count the 3-pronged polythingy aka Torque Arm Insert.

....Good call. Ask for Kate 0239 263 9933. If they're in stock, she'll get them out to you fast.

Full BSH mounts kit installed today (engine, transmission and pendulum).
There is definitely that GRrrrrrr noise which I can say for me is OK, I really like it. Under hard acceleration is sounds a bit like a V6. But at idle hmmm I can't say very happy with it, maybe a bit disturbing. Still the mounts have to brake in, so I'm hoping for the best. Also there is some cabin vibration at idle, too, I can feel a bit in the chair, but in the steering wheel. A bit similar to a diesel engine, older model.
The rest absolutely fantastic. I can feel that more power goes to the ground, acceleration is easier and ESP ...how should I say this in English..comes in (intervines) much later than it used to.
I also installed a forge short shifter and man is amazing. coupled with the mounts is just great, changing the gears is mega fast and quick and precise.

Nice to hear someone else who enjoys the Grrrrrrr!
On the VWR engine mounts (surely very similar indeed to both BSH and VF in resulting sound and vibes transfer) the vibration is very minor indeed on their 'Fast Road' version. You feel it gently at a cold startup and it may be described as just a buzz on the steering wheel. But then you don't feel it once you are underway and also not when everything is running warm, say when idling at traffic lights.
Because aftermarket engine mounts are harder than oem, there is always going to be a trade-off or compromise. Suspension mods follow the same principal, as do many hardware performance mods to the GTI as it's mainly aimed at a broad market which likes its comforts.
However, we've already established that aftermarket engine mounts are not to everybody's taste.
