Yeah if you enjoy replacing engine mounts go for it hehe
I would always recommend uprated, trust me until you feel the difference of uprated you wont wanna go back.

well cars in bits ATM so worth doing all 3 now as I can get to em all easy just wanted to see what every one thought was best idea to do

Changing mounts is easy & you don't even have to do it that often, I changed all mine in 2009 and have done about 10,000 miles including track use on standard mounts with an ABF putting out 220Nm+.   The mounts are still fine.

Uprated mounts from vibra-technics:
Front = £189
Rear = £157
Gearbox = £102
Total = £448

And you do all that and the front subframe is still rubber mounted to the chassis rails anyway.

If it was used On a g60 sure my little 2l 8v will do ok with em thanks for all the help mate and no way will I be paying out over £400 for em lol

G60 rear engine mount,
1.3 gearbox mount
1.3 frount mount

that'll stop your engine moveing

Fair comments above and I know they're expensive so I guess its down to you now

Do the gti gear box ones not fit the 1.3 then as they look stronger made?

Have a search re engine mounts, i think previos advice was to use a G60 spec rear and a 1.3 spec front and gerbox mount- as these are the solid rubber ones. some of the GTi ones have hydo dampers, which can fail, and are more expensive to buy. Whatever you fit as a new standard item it'll be loads better than nackered old ones.

I fitted a couple of vidratechnics mounts to my car, initially to help with clearance for an exhaust manifold, but I prefer the standard for general driving. There is a bit more buzz/vibration and noise from the firmer mounts and I culdnt really see any performance benefit over a new standard item, which is about a tenth of the price!
