Need some new mounts and cant decide on either vibra technics or baker bm.I want better than standard mounts but dont want the car to shake like a s**tting dog. Suggestions?? ________________________________________ ***Breaking*** Ph3 Silver GTI 6 High Boost |

I did some research on this but ended up buying standard, which was a great improvement. If not sticking with standard I was going to go Vibratechnics fast road - still stiffer than std, and prob a little more vibration but Baker BM seemed more extreme IIRC. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Same as mik i was going to go fast road/group n but heard too many comments about vibration and its a daily.Ive got a standard lower mount and chocked standard upper. Im changing the gearbox mount next and might go for a vibratechnics one there as i think the box is the one that causes least vibration? unless im wrong? ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

I've got Group N top and gearbox, and they caused no cabin vibration.I also fitted some time after those two a Group A lower mount and now I have some vibration, but I wouldn't say it's bad. The engine certainly doesn't move in the bay let's put it that way.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

i had Colin Satchell mounts [entirely solid throughout]i would not recommend it if you even drive on the road the vibration was enough to render the mirrors useless ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Group N was very stiff and vibrated around 1200rpm, so everytime you stopped and started. |
