yes peeps that is metal and not rubber  :surprised: , pricey but is it worth it over a the rubber std insert we all already have?

mmmm tempted as its an easier install rather than full engine mounts

Any reviews anywhere to see if it increases vibration?

So far in my experience, aftermarket engine mounts increase sound rather than increase vibration. Though of course, full-on race solids would be different.

Just fitting a dog-bone will improve power delivery.

My next mod will be VWR's 'Fast Road" engine mounts.

:happy2:

This is just another mount much like the VF offering but a little cheaper.

yeah its the same but the important bit is that the insert filling the void in the OE mount is metal so I was hoping it would improve things even more.

I would question having a totally solid insert on a road car. Track cars have their components regularly checked and changed and comfort is far less of a consideration.

AFAIK, BSH are a racing company. By comparison, VWR have separate 'Competition' and 'Fast Road' components for good reason.

But, I'm not an expert on this subject.

very true Red , but remember the mount already has a rubber bit, so it wont be totally solid.
I dunno how bad the NVH would be, but Id certainly like to try it  :smiley:
