you can get uprated ones from places like EIP tuning but most people buy Powerflex dog bone bushes and replace the OEM bushes.

try www.forgemotorsport.co.uk

alternatively i think the R32 dog done mount is uprated so you could buy that:

Part number is 1J0 199 851 AM, and price is about £63 with the VAT I think; i've got the bushes to try out but will only be swapping out the smaller of the two

initially yes but they do bed in after a few hundred miles.  You're more prone to vibration in TDI's hence why I've put off fitting mine  :undecided:
