How does this compare to the BSH? Anyone tried both?

I have the road versions of these Vibra-technics mounts and they are fantastic! The difference between these and the BSH (and most other aftermarket mounts/bushes like Powerflex) is that the Vibra-Technics use high-grade rubber vs. polyurethane.

NVH does go up a bit over stock, but the solid feel and power delivery that you get is totally worth the bit of vibration that is transponded through the car. I would recommend if you get this lower mount, to also get the upper motor and transmission mounts to match.

They look really well-made, sort of sad I opted for the BSH/TSW/PowerFlex combo. GLWS!

To add to what pfanara said, my experience with the Vibra-technics right-side engine mount (for comparison) is that it provides a subtle NVH increase over stock, but substantially less than the TSW urethane mount that it replaced. Both the Vibra-technics and TSW significantly reduced engine movement & increased responsiveness.

I bought the Vibra-Technics lower torque link from JBC4317 (at a bit of a discount), and it will replace OEM+urethane inserts. I am hoping for a further decrease in engine rocking-movement, thereby increasing the longevity of the header flex joint, without an increase in NVH. If it performs as well as their right-side mount, that's exactly what I will get.

If you decide you want to buy one, they are available @ $155 (including delivery) here: http://www.greeneperformance.com/pro...k-engine-mount
