Sti grip N engine gearbox mounts
 
I'm currently rebuilding my sti RA and looking to run the new 2.5 at around 450bhp with similar torque. I know my current engine mounts aren't in the best condition, so I'm looking to replace with STI grp N items. Does anyone have any experience of these. I have seen a few people say it makes it feel a little more responsive.
However my main concern is, how much is the cabin noise and vibratetion increased by??

I opted for updated mounts on a car years ago, and the increased vibration was too much, so it's not something I want to happen again.
All opinions and advice are welcomed
Cheers joe

Grp N ones are fine mate :) You won't have any NVH issues from my experience :)

Cheers stu, think they would be a worthwhile upgrade.
I've just got complete 6speed conversion for it too so may also be with while to look into transmission mounts

They are very worthwhile :) Only other notable UK sourced option is the Vibra ones but they are much more likely to cause you NVH issues if you 100% want comfort. :)

The Grp N ones are great, I have the engine, gearbox and diff mounts all Grp N. Hardly any noticeable increase in NVH but much better responsivness and less slop in the drive train.

Funny you should say that mate, they were vibra ones that I fitted years ago that caused me all that hassle. Caused multiple cabin vibrations. Nightmare!
