cant go wrong, fitted mie last week and its been one of the best things i have done to my car, vibration on idle was a little bad for a while but has calmed down now and gear change is alot better

 

[boomerbang2006]

Thats what i`ve heard,the early vibration....but can put up with that if my gear changes are sweeter and no clunking.

you don't need any luck.

 

[boomerbang2006]

Had them done and its like a new car(no....really it is),there is no "clunk" when i change gears at speed,smoother all round,well chuffed,....dont know why i didnt do them sooner.

Just ordered one yesterday, think I'll start with this and then order some standard engine mounts.

I did all of mine, went for Vibratechnics upper and lower too.....and yeah theres a bit of vibration (Ive experienced a VW Beetle on solid ally mounts) but its not half as bad as is reported by folk on here.

The positives far outweigh the negs.

The vibration is a massive over exaggeration. Its hardly noticeable (if you fit them right)

I ordered one for my 172 and my williams get them fitted next weekend hopefully it makes as much of a difference as everyone is saying.

Great mod,larkspeed was the cheapest i found £33 with p+p.

 

[Perry]

Yeah I ordered mine from Larkspeed through eBay, though Kam Racing (IIRC) is only a quid or so dearer with their free postage offer.

Fitted it yesterday - pretty easy. No idea if it'll fix my exhaust problem and there's no real vibration to speak of. However when I give it beans in first there is a noticable difference - at times the car would feel a bit weird as the revs got higer, making the odd noise (as if the exhaust was clashing off something and engine moving about) and on few occasions has even jumped out of gear, so I've rarely properly booted it in first. Straight away there was none of that at all and felt much better. Maybe it hasn't done anything earth shattering, but for the £33 posted it's worth every penny.
