I'm pretty sure I have those bushes in mine. Makes alot of difference with the gear changes. However the vibrations in the cab at idle can defo be felt...I think I have learnt to live with it.

Yes it is a lot harsher but you soon learn to live with it.

I looked @ the R32 spec and it is a lot more money.

I have one of these fitted: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/POWERFLEX-VW-GOLF-MK4-BORA-ENGINE-MOUNT-DOGBONE-BUSH-/220781779151?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item33679e98cf

Makes a lot of difference.

I have those as well, as Wayne says definitely worth doing :cool:

I was concerned about how harsh they might be, but tbh I don't notice it any more! There's a little more vibration at idle but that's about it :smiley:
