Default Anyone rate vibra technics

Need some seriously strong mounts as I blown the lower rear to bits!

Are they that much more durable than standard?

Yes but they do transmit more vibration. Found it OK on my old FRST

I fitted a pair on vibrant tech engine mounts and they have been spot on. It sounds daft but the engine felt more responsive. My standard mounts were well fooled though.

But more vibration but you won't break them. Fit and forget.

rapid ford is where I have always got my mounts from and Dan is a member on here

edit just saw what car you have and I also had a FRST which split both mounts so once the cradle was lowered the OE mounts were in 2 parts and fell out and I replaced with VT ones

I'm not mechanically minded but I can follow orders and instructions!

Do I just drop the cradle and bolt new mount to that?
