Vibra Technics street motor mounts

strokemycocktus · 03-05-2018, 05:03 PM

I'm getting my rod bearings done soon and wanted to replace motor mounts as well. I thought it would be a good idea to go with something more durable and a bit stiffer than OEM, hoping for an improved shifting feel. I have read a few reviews and most people state that they do not add any NVH apart from some vibration on idle. I could cope with A BIT more vibration when stationary, but wanted to ensure how do these behave when cruising - for example at 90 mph is there any noticable increase in vibration? Is the vibration felt at the steering wheel, or everywhere in the car?
As a refference - with OEM mounts with 37k miles on them I can tell there is some vibration at the wheel when cruising, but barely noticable and not disturbing at all. I am wondering how vibra technics owners would compare this to their current setup.

Nope, they are great.

Their street mount is awesome! You'll definitely feel an improvement with no added NVH. I had my bearings done recently (BE and Vibra Tech street mount), right away I noticed shifting is more precise/smoother.

Just had mine put in with the rod bearings and it's similar to stock.

Thanks for the input everyone.

You mean overall or just the NVH? They do cost more so I am hoping for some benefits, especially in terms of shifting.

I can't tell if they feel that much better, but they're suppose to last longer.

6MT or DCT?

I decided to go for these mounts. Had them installed about a week ago.
The vibration is noticably higher on idle and then until around 2k rpm. After that it is completely gone. Cruising at 3-4k rpm is perfectly smooth.
I would say these vibrate on idle for 4/10 while stock were at 2/10 and no different than stock when driving. Totally tolerable for a daily driver. None of the passengers has noticed the difference even when asked.
Comparing to torn stock mounts shifting feels way better and all clunking noises (clutch in/out) are now gone. I can finally put it in 1st while rolling slowly with no effort. Highly recommended.
Here are my stock mounts with 61000 km mileage and a pic of the Vibra-Technic ones.

Nice review Stroke. And forgive me for being lazy, what was the cost vs OEM?

Thanks

Thanks

I paid 240 GBP shipped to Poland, bought on ebay UK. Not sure about the price of OEM sourced from the dealer, but the Corteco ones are about 3x cheaper if I remember correctly.
