Has anyone upgraded their rear engine mount and has it made much of difference, the Cobb part seems to get good reviews just wondering is it worth doing?

Fitted the cobb unit today, only took about 20 mins using a single jack on the drive. I was a bit worried at first as vibration at idle was quite noticeable with the Ac on, but after a good blast everything must have settled in as the vibration reduced and is barely noticeable with no change from stock with the Ac off.

The stiffer torque arm has made gear changes far more positive and the car just feels better if that makes any sense. Hard 1st to 2nd gear changes are now brilliant the car just surges forward. It honestly made me think wow the first time I did it.

Highly recommended the mod!
