Engine mount insert choices / kits for ep3

[akingcool]

so either do them all or none at all?

That would seem the most sensible way to me. As Lewis said earlier new oem mounts will be an improvement over old worn ones, not cheap though.

Have read mixed things about alignment after fitting inserts, will I need to redo FRSU after mount inserts are fitted or not?

To fit the front mount insert, you need to drop the subframe. So afterwards front camber and tracking will need adjusting.
If you fit just the rear insert you don't need to drop the subframe ect. A lot of people do this as it's less hassle and reduces the engine movement enough not to wreck aftermarket exhaust manifold flexi joints.

I had mine redone, amazingly it was almost perfect.

Just put Energy poly inserts in mine and the reduction in axle tramp is profound. The only negative is a little extra vibration on tickover. A worthwhile trade in my book.

I might look into this , have heard a little bang before at high revs but only once or twice in the last three months

For the gearbox mount do you need 2 packs of the insert s as I'm doing this and noticed that only ones comes in a pack?
