hengti 2 Posted April 11, 2006 Baker Bushes (who advertise on this site) do the full range of mounts - there's a link somewhere if you quote '205gtidrivers' in the discount field, you get a 10% discount which is a nice touch haven't ever tried solid rear beam mounts, but they're supposed to help keep the rear end in check. that's either a good thing or a bad (and dull!) thing depending upon your perspective have got the engine mounts though. there are three, and they do make alot of difference. the gearchange is much improved and the car turns in better for them as well. downside is that they're fairly harsh and will transmit alot more vibration into the cabin - you'll discover rattles you didn't know you had! i'd advise against fitting the uprated buffers to the top mount (by the cambelt cover) - fit the bush, but not the buffers at the side - the harder buffers make the vibration intolerable in my opinion, and you don't lose much (if anything) by keeping them std Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
