Default Wanting engine mount set recommend

Looking to replace engine mount set.
Car is GC8 with 6 speed.
I was going to go for the hardrace set but came across some Megan racing stuff which are a few ££ cheaper.
Anyone using these or know if they are upto the same quality as hardrace?
Or if there are any other recommendations for engine mounts?

Cheers
Rich

I don't mind extreme,don't mind a noisy harsh ride even tho it's a daily.
I've got a diff brace to fit which I bought a while ago but the engine mounts are a bit old and tired so might as well upgrade at the same time.
Just never heard of Megan racing stuff so was curious about the quality

I got my grp n mounts from as performance. It'd be rude not to fit an uprated pitch and gearbox mount whilst your at it

Defiantly,i'll be upgrading the full set.
I'll give Alyn a ring,i know he stocks the Hardrace stuff at a good price,GroupN stuff is more expensive but if the quality is better then it might be worth the extra money.

If you're happy to go extreme then I had these on my R, with these you dont even need a pitch mount

Rich, I got mine from ICP along with the pitch mount, about 5 years ago I think. Alyn will probably sell you them at as good a price if not cheaper.

ASP always seem to do a good price so would be by first call if I go for GroupN

Are the Beatrush and Leile the same or are there different versions?

Interesting,something more to think about than my first thoughts which were to just go for hardrace.

Cool
Would I just keep the oem pitch mount on or are you saying you literally don't need one with these mounts?

@ Beatrush
I'm sure it's quality stuff but for £650 for engine,gearbox and pitch stop it's a bit rich for me and my shallow pockets
I'll look at my other options but Laile is off the table.

Out of interest, how hard is it to change the gearbox mount?

So as the Megan racing ones didn't get a mention I'll pass on those.
Do like the sound of the vibra.
GroupN and hardrace seem similar and most popular so would be a good middle of the road choice.
The Silver-project gold edition that banny linked are going to be harsh,,I like the sound of these the most I'll look into if they do a matching gearbox cradle.

Cheers for the input everyone,plenty to think about and more choice than I first thought

They have a gearbox mount listed but I would clarify if it 5 or 6 speed

Just been looking on their site,gearbox mount just says 1992-2011 so would assume it's 5spd which would be no good to me,I will sent a message and double check.
