certainly was :wink:

If I didn't need to fit them ASAP I would have sent them up to you to get fitted to try out Rhys, might be worth seeing if anyone else is thinking of fitting them and could do the same?

Thay leave virtually no slack in the drive train so the car gets the power down better and thay help to stop wheel hop. Makes the drive so much better.

 Good for your exhaust too  :smiley:

if you're handy with a spanner they should take you a few hours to do. Hardest bit is moving the bits out of the way and squeezing the mount out of the drivers side

my god what a difference  :shocked:

Just normal driving around is so much smoother, gearchanges feel effortless :cool:

It's also stopped my exhaust rattling against the bottom of the car so I'm even more happy with them. I can feel a slight vibration on tickover but I'm pretty sure it's already started to go, whether that's me getting used to it or the mounts bedding in I'm not sure but either way I'm very pleased.

I've just priced a new set of OEM mounts up and they come to £35 less than the THS ones so a definite bargain  :smiley:

glad you like them mate

that 'slight' vibration you and Rich get at tickover is what puts me off them as you know it will be amplified by the power of  the derv  :sad: :laugh:

They will bed in a bit mine still has a tiny vibration at tickover hardly noticeable tho - well worth it for the performance thay give.

Top man sam! :afro:
