Title: Vibra technics bottom mount
Post by: Andy on February 24, 2020, 01:01:02 pm

Who has one fitted and are they worth it and I read you do get a bit of vibration noise but is it bad or will I not hear it over my exhaust  :grin:

I think I might have one, albeit rebranded by Racingline from several years ago. It made the car feel a bit more gritty at lower revs but in a quite acceptable more purposeful manner. No great shakes either way and it made the car feel a bit better connected.

Did you experience much vibration or noise when installed

Nothing much really, the wife certainly didn’t notice!

You mean the dogbone?  Yeah I'm on my second one.  Really good mount.  Rubbery goodness without the harshness of poly. 

The RacingLine one was made by Vibratechnics (because RL can't make sh1t themselves) but low durometer blue poly instead of rubber.  It was crap.  Vibratechnics' own rubber mount is far superior.   All of their mounts are superior to the competition in fact, but if you run all 3, you have to put up with a bit of NVH, especially at 2500rpm.  Way less NVH than the competition though.

2 x new OEM side mounts plus 1 x Vibrator Techniques = happy days.

I would avoid the Racingline mount, it's known to fail.  And it costs £40 more than Vibratechnics' own one!

How do you find the 034 mounts?  Street density?

Cheers for the info..
The 034 mounts are very good with no nvh at all and less movement on the engine

I might have been tired when I explained it and worded it wrong or something

23s feel good on smooth roads, not unusuable on the back roads though of course, just not the best you could get.
