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:
