I have clubsports which have these, and there is a tiny popping noise over bumps but i have heard that if you fit them to other coils then they can be noisy.  :happy2:

i run solid / adjustable top mounts on my mk1 golf 16v track car as i found i was knocking out top mounts all the time by hitting rumble strips (2 sets a year) . so i swaped to solids which are good on track but are very harsh on the road but i am running 300lbs front springs .

if you dont need them i would say avoid them as you might end up hating the ride on a daily basis

I can't say I know of any with rubber, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
