Just as you said easy to fit.

Just two bolts hold it in place.

Do you know of any company that does other uprated mounts ie top mount and gear box

I think it's BB Tuning that do them, will make the ride very hard though! The centre of the dog bone has to be whacked out and replaced with your new one with lots of grease if I remember right? The mount supports the gear box that you might want to put a jack under (may not be necessary though) there are a couple of other bolts that you'll have to loosen first too to get the movement.

They make the whole car vibrate apparenty! Powerflex do then IIRC

Uprated bog bone moutns (well uptated rubber inserts) can be bought from Ktec etc cheaply.

Uprated other mounts whilst on sale arn't cheap running to a few hundred quid.
Chnage the dog bone mount and the other mounts wear more plus at idel the car shakes.
