ford mounts are about £90 with the vat, better to get an uprated set though.

A lot of people recon Vibratechnics ones are too harsh and transmitt a lot of noise and vibration, give matt Lewis a bell on 07910 818 110, he sells collins ones for around 110 quid which are meant to be much better

They are harsh & you do get a vibration through the car but it adds to the sporty feel. Lol.

The Colin's ones must have more rubber I guess. When I was looking people said they were just the same.Oh well.

The Ford ones are filled with oil to prevent vibration - i think thats what makes them weak tbh
