get a solid rubber mount from a 2.0 16v corrado from EuroCarParts

it will indeed but it'd be worth getting a heavy duty one as its in a g60. i use one of these:

which was designed for a g60 corrado. i can get you one from the guy who makes them if you want?

EuroCarParts actually list the same part numbers for mk2 16v & corrado 16v & corrado G60

Part Nums
33740250
33740251

one of these is the front hydro mount, and the other the front solid rubber mount. just make sure you ask which is which!

a solid mount will tranfer the vibration/pulling force onto the front crossmember bushes, so replace them at the same time if your gonna fit one of these. they are meant to be a good job though!

I got a full set of Vibra Technics and i think there great. Minimal engine movement with no added vibrations. Cant get much better than that. But i have to agree they aint cheap.
