THS Performance have developed a new engine mounting system for the 1.8T MK4 type application.
The outer casing of the mounting system maintains stock appearance, whilst the internal rubber has been carefully re-engineered by means of shape and stiffness to reduce engine/drive train movement. The rubber is 30% stiffer than standard but because of the re-engineered shape the engine movement is reduced by over 50% without transmitting any serious engine vibration back into the vehicle unlike polyurethane mounts.
The extra control over the engine and drive train makes for a much more precise power transmission to the road both on 2wd and 4wd applications. Significantly reducing wheel hop on 2wd cars. Other benefits are reduced stress on the exhaust system.
The FR3 system fit the following applications:
VW Golf Mk4 2.0 Gti VW Golf 1.8T Gti VW Golt 1.9 TDi VW Bora 1.8T VW Bora 1.9TDi Audi A3 1.8T Audi A3 1.9TDi Audi S3 210 - 225bhp Audi TT 150-180-225 Seat Leon 1.8T Seat Leon Cupra 1.8T Seat Leon Cupra R Seat Leon 1.9TDi Seat Toledo Skoda Octavia 1.8T Skoda Octavia VRS 1.8T
Fits 5 and 6 Speed Models. Does not support DSG box.
The engine mounting system includes Engine mount, Gearbox mount and Dog Bone mount.

Coming from a completely standard car (05 Leon Cupra R) the improvement this has made is quite noticable. As above traction (the biggest improvement) and feel has improved with the front end feeling tighter over OEM mounts.
Intermittent vibration (trivial at most) was there for the first week or so at low revs/idle such as when stopped at traffic lights but after two weeks it had completely gone and is now no worse over standard mounts.
Well worth the money and more so if you're looking to increase power at some point.

I had a neuspeed pendulum insert before which is probably best described as just putting a bit of concrete as a bush, as well as ruining the oem mounts it felt like a ferry on full reverse coming in to dock. so your ones are really nice they hold the engine very well,power delivery and braking are better and they transfer pretty much no vibration at all( possibly might want to ask someone elses opinion who hasnt had a concrete bush for the last three years). The main thing for me though was that they were well packaged, arrived on time and fitted unlike a lot of the other orders lately. Thanks once again.
