Default RST engine mounts???

Is it worth going for uprated engine mounts or stick with new standard ones.

Will be for a s1 running around 250bhp if that makes any diferance lol.
Also the same with gearbox mounts.

Who's the best person to get the uprated ones from?

cheers
Benn

I got new box mounts from Fords or you could do VibraTecnics?

The rear engine mount is no longer serviced by Ford and as far as IIRC no-one makes theses either

Tony has the VT ones on his, see how he thinks they are vibration wise.

My Vibratechnics ones are spot-on!! Not too bad in terms of vibration.

They have improved the whole feel of the Transmission/Gearchange no end.
