mk3 1.8t engine mounts

im sticking with the solid mount, suits me and i cant complain.

im not gonna use a solid front mount, I dont drive particularly fast and dont do track days so its not needed tbh, plus its a daily driver thats used for more than driving my mates around
I also dont wanna run any risks of anything breaking or needing more than normal servicing, thats the reason im not running qpeng

i do over 1000 miles a month i reckon, its my first and only car. Its not uncomfortable and things dont break and i drive it hard quite regularly. dont do a 1.8t conversion if you dont want to service it more often or worry about things going wrong......

sounds like Wayne is doing your conversion for ya!

oh and just a thought you can always buy both front mounts and see which you like the best, its pretty simple to swap them over. you can pick up a solid mount for like £30.

I have a solid front mount in mine and its fine, but we put a solid front mount in my mates car and it caused a bit too much vibration for his liking and so we swapped it back. the funny thing is our cars were almost identical in spec, both were MK2 with abf, both used bonded rubber febi rear + box mounts and the same make solid front. only real difference was he has coilovers and i have good shocks + springs.

the reason we went for solid front mounts is we had 4 branch manifolds, its a good idea to fit them in this case to reduce the chances of the manifold cracking. I dont actually have a 4 branch anymore so will probably swap back to an oem type mount in the near future

tbh its the way I would of gone anyway, I only use aftermarket or non standard stuff if I can se some kind of benefit from using it, and for what I'm gonna be using it for I cant see any
