Are they less severe than vibratechnics?

It's probably worth fitting these to a brand new mount would you all say?

Stick your thoughts up mate once you've got it fitted. I'm interested. I don't wanna go solid mounts like the ktecs etc but if these add a bit more stiffness to the standard mount then I'll be ordering one
Will do, hopefully it be here before the weekend
I had the vibra technics mount on the drivers side fitted to my 182 with the other mounts being standard. I took it off because of the vibration and noise you would do 70mph and it would feel like you needed to change into 6th.
It got rid off the engine movement and the throttle response was better but went back to genuine Renault,that only felt tight for a week so have order this and will report back.

Same as me, got the polybush dogbone already but could do with refreshing the others in the near future. Wife hates driving it already, if I was to go vibratechnic it would hurt my ears/neck
Do they make a gearbox one yet Russ?
When they do I'll probably go for the pair. May as well get them onto the 4th mount too
Steve - the Megs are such a pain! there seem to be a hundred options! lol. I struggle to find the correct number
Totally - already asked too lol (Everyone forgets the 4th one)
My opinion on the vibratechnic top engine mount , from another thread (didn't the the powerflex)
After a while (a few months) with the Vibra technic mount, I put back the original for two reasons -
First it vibrates the rear view mirror and compromises the clarity of the view. Not very obvious, the vibration is very high frequency, but if you hold the mirror you can see the difference. Very noticeable sometimes on my G1W camera though to the point where you can't read license plates when you should easily.
And second, as a driver I'm very insensitive to g-forces when accelerating and cornering no matter how hard I drive (new michelin PS3 if you wonder). The brain simply filters it to keep you focused, because it can anticipate the moves. when I'm a passenger I'm very sensitive though. So the super stiff mount made throttle play and gearshifts almost impossible to feel, the oem one (whice is brand new, from ktec), brings the car back to life.
Personally I'd recommend them for people who are serious about track days, getting consistent lap times etc... For those who care more about the feel and fun (the point of this car) I'd go with oem.
Take it as just an opinion though, If you don't feel like me about g-forces when driving, it could be different experience for you.

anyone has any experience with it already ? would love to hear if it eliminated the banging when accelerating hard on low gears.
wonder what would happen to a stock dogbone & left engine mount with this powerflex mount

What bush?

Question is does it put all the strain on the other mounts ? So dogbone mount and gearbox mount should be reinforced as well, no ? Wonder how cabin resonance on idle is like compared to vibra-technics.
Im asking because i got a 6 months old dogbone mount and already it looks like it's half dead

Installed mine and whilst firm, there is more vibration inside the car, making it much more of a raw experience. Gear change and power delivery a little firmer though, doesn't feel like the power train is under as much torsion compared with the standard mount.
The drivers side of the engine hardly moves at all now with this installed, I'm thinking I need to do the dog bone now to even things out a bit. I was quite surprised to be honest at how much difference it makes. I like it
