    GSF Engine mounts

    Has anyone used gsf and renault engine mounts and can give me their opinion on whether or not the GSF items do a good enough job please?

    :( Where's the polyurethane (spl?) option.. arghhhhh

    Renault mounts are just so expensive. I can replace my OEM suspension dampers with Bilstein items for less than the rubber from Renault.

    I changed all of my engine mounts for genuine renault ones, and the engine was nice and solid and had no issues.
    The way i saw it the ones on there last 100k so new Renault ones will.

    Very true.. I don't doubt that the Renault items are better, the cost just mounts up pretty quick for a few blocks of rubber. It's not like they cost a lot to produce.

    Also.. if anyone in South or West Devon knows where I can also get the dogbone pressed out and in again i'd appreciate it.
