FR3 Gearbox Steady

Engine Mounting System

THS Performance range of engine mounting systems for VAG cars

The Product - Mk4 Platform 97-04+

Re-engineered internals

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.

Shown is one part of of the TSFI casing

Stiffer Rubber

The rubber is only 30% stiffer than the original factory mounts but thanks to the re-engineered shape the engine movement is reduced by over 50%.

This combination of re-engineered internals with a 30% increase in stiffness provides the extra control desired without transmitting any serious engine vibration back into the vehicle unlike a lot polyurethane type mounts.

See the difference

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.
