Engine/Tranny Mount Options - Current State

[afman916]

What's the current state of engine/tranny mount options? CTS mounts are giving up the ghost here and there, right? How about 034? I know BFI reigns supreme, but the price difference b/w them and say CTS/034 gives me pause for a daily driver. ECS seems to have good mounts, and Revo gets some decent reviews.

I'm really just trying to find a mount that reduces some of the movement/slop (primarily in first two gears) without introducing appreciable levels of NVH, oh and doesn't give out in X,XXX miles.

Thoughts? I've done a ton of research but unfortunately I haven't really come to a solid conclusion, and have been reading here and there (forums and FB groups) that mounts have been failing.

I would go for CTS mounts when they go on sale - I think that's the best deal you'll find out there. They seem pretty much identical to 034 as well. I have a mix between ECS engine and CTS trans and they work great for me

Unless something new has happened, im saving for Stage 2 BFI mounts, and the Roc-Euro Stablizer. That should handle all my mount needs.

I have NO idea what super pro and racing line are doing. RL always has a crazy price structure and super pro must love exclusivity

CTS is shit.

I've been on the 034Motorsport mounts for 4,000 miles now. So far no issues and they seem to have reduced a lot of the drivetrain slop. No noticeable increase in NVH either.

I was considering BFI stage 1 mounts as well but after reading about the differences between high-durometer rubber mounts and polyurethane mounts on 034Motorsport's website I decided to go with them.

I also considered getting the CTS based on their price being lower (especially when they run their sales) but ultimately went with the 034 because I had used their strut mounts on my MKV Jetta and am currently running their dogbone insert on my GTI with zero issues.

HPA Puck has been good for me, no problems after two HPDE seasons as well.

Just checked out the Roc-Euro Stabilizer from the other thread, looks and sounds like a well-engineered product. Thinking of pairing one up with the TBD mounts I'm mulling over.

Perhaps 034 mounts and Roc-Euro Stabilizer? BFI pricing at even Stage 1 is hard to swallow for a DD, unless it really IS worth it over even say 034.

Yeah that's what I've been hearing. I get not all of them are failing, but the number of reported failings is enough to give me pause...

2nd for 034. Had them on my Mk6...have them on my mk7 R cant recommend them enough.

BFI stage 2 on my last two gti, coming up on 100,000 miles driven with them total and they’re flawless.

I wouldn't put anything cts on my car. For years now they just have a god awful reputation with fitment issues. Their quality is terrible. I literally refuse to install any of their products for customers anymore.

Count me in for another recommendation of BFI's stage 2 kit.

So it's looking like 034 or BFI...does 034 ever go on sale anywhere/current coupons out there? I know BFI is running 10% off right now.

I have the bfi stage 2 motor/tranny mounts and love them. Bfi tells the truth in there description when they say you give up comfort for performance. It is a little louder and there is more vibration but that's ok for me because the performance is great with them and my car is Dd.

The only one I know of is 5% during Black Friday weekend, which is when I got mine.
