Racingline Performance Subframe Mount - Mk5-Platform: Golf 5/6, A3/S3 8P, Leon 2, Octavia 2

WHAT DIFFERENCE DO THE Racingline Performance MOUNTS MAKE?

The Racingline Performance engine mounts stiffen the whole location of the drivetrain greatly to give a much crisper feeling to your car. This means no more jerky behaviour on and off the throttle or when you change gear, and all-but eliminates wheel hop off the line. Of course, a bit more noise from the drivetrain comes into the cabin, but most keen drivers love the sense that they are more connected to their car.

As opposed to some aftermarket push in bushes which crudely fill the voids in the factory mounts, the Volkswagen units are completely redesigned replacement mount assemblies. We specify a stiff urethane of 75A durometer which allows some movement within the mounts, and filters much of the drivetrains vibration but with a design that very significantly reduces the movement on each.

For most road cars, wed recommend the lower engine mount on its own, leaving the two upper mounts standard. This makes a huge difference to how the car drives, and is a pretty minimal difference to the cabin refinement. The lower engine mount on its own is one of our most popular upgrades for Golfs and Sciroccos.

For more heavily modified, track and motorsport cars, all three mounts should be upgraded.
