034 motorsport engine mount update

Just thought id pop a little update on my thoughts so far on the 034 street density rubber engine mounts i fitted last weekend. So far I've done a good few motor way trips, urban driving and a mix of steady and spirited driving, so i think its a fair opinion on the product.

I'll start of with the advantages

The mounts have took a vast amount of slack and play from the engines movement, meaning its nice and slick between the gears and pick up feels good. Handling in the corners feels a more composed too, especially considering the engine placement in a B7 does anything but aid handling. Also loosing the fluid filled style mounts stops reduces the likelyhood of potential failure in the future.

Unfortunately for me the biggest downside with these mounts and the vibrations at idle. I was expecting and increase, but its verging on excessive for me personally and tbh im in two minds wether these are for me after sitting in a long line of traffic the other day. Also i seem to find myself going for an extra gear now when cruising at 70 in 6th, could ve down to the resonance through the car increasing the sound makes it seem like its reviving more now?

So on the whole a good performance mod, if your happy to loose that touch of comfort inside.

Seems where all in a similar boat then with these mounts. Im going to sit on them for a while and sort other jobs first and see how i feel about them in a few months
