...very true. But I'll use the correct torque settings and up the idle a little and that should hopefully dial out some of the vibrations. I can always upgrade in the future.
I've got the full THS engine mount kit, I previously had an uprated poly bush but had cabin vibribrations at low revs.
Thought might as well do the whole lot. THS's FR3 kit is supposed to be 30% stiffer than stock, don't anyway of messuring it though. I know it's reduced wheel hop and car feels tighter and more planted.

Yep!
Poly bush is cheaper, but you have the hassle of fitting it. I had loads of vibration problems when I had a poly bush, I know others have had mixed success.
Recon it took bout forty minutes with a jack and a couple of tools to fit both engine and dogbone mounts.
I hated my poly dog bone when i first fitted it. I had it off twice to check the torque settings and make sure it had been greased properly but still never liked the low rev rumble. In the end dave DPJ kindly sent me a set of oem bushes he had lying around and i went half oem half poly. This feels much more comfortable but the INA track density mount sound the danglies, they'll probably be getting £100 of my hard earned cash very soon.
So it sounds like the THS mounts are comparable to the INA street density mounts. As I was going for the track density DBM I'll stick to INA in that case.
well because i ordered the two turbo hoses from them at the same time they said they could give me the dogbone for 45 delivered
don't mean to question you but how did you do both engine mounts and DBM in forty minutes. You should get a job from F1
I'd recon 2 hours to do all three and two person job as lining up these mounts are very important. Copy of ELSAWIN gives all the alignment specs, new bolts are needed aswell as these are stretch bolts
Easily done in under an hour.. did save quite a lot of time as I don't have an undertray on
Recon you'd be closer to hour and half by the time you'd taken off and refitted one of those.
Book time is only 1hr for both engine mounts, I reused my bolts.. same as most people. As for the alignment didn't have any problems. Only doing one side at a time (as opposed to engine out), there is minimal side to side engine movement.

... well I've gone for the THS mount. Ollie@THS has given me a great price for DBM and TIP. Don't know the exact price at the moment cause he gave me a combined price inclusive of postage.

I got the ECS bushes and torqued at stock nrs. Only a little vibration in the steering wheel at idle. Can hear/feel the engine more at higher revs, which is a very positive thing !
well after looking into it in a little more i decided to spend a little extra. Though getting the DBM and TIP sort before the remap was a must.
Hopefully the extra on the THS DBM will mean I get all the gains without the vibrations.

I emailed THS and got a reply from Ollie stating their DBM comes complete with housing and costs £45 plus £6 p&p to SCN members paying with PayPal. If anyone is using one of these with OEM top mounts I'd like to know if they're any good.

try these, good reviews and loads less vibrations if any at all......

interested in the ths item, they are on the bay for 55quid plus post, do you get the whole mount as opposed to the bush?
45 plus 6 delivery is dirt cheap...
group buy is a coming i feel...

I've been thinking about doing this but wondered:
If you guys with petrols are commenting on the vibrations, is it a good idea to do it on my diesel cupra?
