New - BSH Engine Mounts
Dubtek:
FULL price, without any discount is £230.00.
I shall be working out discounted prices, and a package price with the pendulum mount also today. :grin:

....
People considering a pair of side mounts should be aware of them POSSIBLY adding sound into the cabin.
I don't know what sound the VF mounts add which James has, nor what duro hardness they are to compare with these BSH's 77a. Similarly I don't know the VWR 'Fast Road' duro rating (their 'Race' mounts are solid), but the VWR mounts look far more substantial.
The mount which doesn't add any sounds is the lower aka dogbone mount - Which can be installed without the other pair.
Another advantage of a full set of engine mounts is reducing any engine movement.
The sound I refer to is a Grrrrrrrrrr!! in direct tandem with your use of throttle - I absolutely love the sound but not everyone (mostly wifeys/GF's/partners) will. Also other sounds can be heard from the engine bay (which I also love!).
Vibration isn't worth mentioning as it's just a buzz and disappears once the engine is warmed up.
Overall, it's more of an enthusiast's mod and not one for those who prefer a sophisticated 'family car'.
Hope this helps people's decisions. [It should be noted that my comments are based on my experience of VWR engine mounts]
Dubtek:
Can we start a list so I have an idea of how many people would be interested in buying these at a discounted price in a potential GB? BSH look like they arent going to hold massive amounts on the shelves, so if we get anywhere near the 40odd people wanting these I need to give BSH prior warning!
RedRobin:
^^^^
I would be more than extremely surprised if you were to get anything remotely like 40 people wanting engine mounts regardless of who makes them and even if they were extremely cheap.
Too many people want their car to remain feeling quiet and 'sophisticated'.
EDIT: I just realised that my post might have sounded ambiguous - I wasn't suggesting it was pointless offering a GB :happy2:
Poverty:
Get us a starting discounted price and will go from there tbh.
