Default S2 RST - Deflex Gearbox Mounts

Anyone else got any opinions/experiance of these??

I fitted them to my car yesterday as I felt the standard ones were due for a change.

Anyway now the car is like a rally car!! haha

It shakes and shudders to every movement of the engine/box.

The gearbox whines in 1st/2nd/3rd/4th.

I was expecting a bit more noise/vibration but it is massively different!!

Anyone else had this?

When i had my fiesta turbo i went and bought some of the uprated mounts, i think mine were vibrotechnics, i also couldn't believe how much vibration carried through the car..!!,

They do get better as they wear though .....(or maybe i got used to it ?)

Track cars noise is good. Helps you work out whats about to break. Road car it'd drive you insane, as mine does
