A lower engine mount bush insert can be one of the most rewarding yet cheapest upgrades you can do to your car. These really help to reduce transmission slop (often felt when going on and off the throttle) by minimising lateral engine movement giving you a much more direct feeling!
Many exhaust manufacturers also advise these as a necessary upgrade when fitting a performance downpipe.
Notes:
- Please note these are an upgrade, some additional vibration may be felt.

If you're gonna do one mod to your mk7/mk7.5, THIS IS IT! It's like a new car to drive, I put it on my mk7.5 GTI Performance with a manual transmission, and I feel in love with the car all over again. Can not recommend it enough :-D
Easy to fit, cheap and makes a big difference to the car. My Leon Cupra used to suffer from wheel hop under hard acceleration but not after fitting this baby :)
Well, I'd read up on what to expect from this mod for my Cupra ST and found it pretty much does what it's supposed to do. Axle tramp remedied on my JB4 & revo carbon intake equipped Cupra ST. Better gear changes, sharper uptake and all for a very reasonable sum. For those that haven't read reviews the detractors are a little extra vibration self when reversing, a little idle vibration when cold, but literally a barely noticeable amount that goes when warmed up. Slightly more abrupt start stop, but still smoother than most other vehicles anyway. Very liveable with. Fly in the ointment cured.
