[harvey01]

what about psi tunings polybush ones?

When I fitted LCR top mounts the car felt noticeably more 'together' and certainly stiffer. Improved the handling a lot though my top mounts weren't in the best condition.

LOL - there is 8 quid in it, big extra cost

well psi say they dont make the ride any harder than lcr ones but im just after the lack of knocking they should deliver

My Mrs delivers a lack of knocking - ****** frustrating.

I read that as £22 for a set of TWO standard S3 top mounts, or £26 EACH for the LCR ones, so more like a £30 difference?

It's not a lot of difference though in the grand scheme of things, less than half a tank of fuel!

My brothers LCR doesn't feel stiffer than my S3, so I'm not sure how much they actually contribute to handling compared to things like shocks/springs/camber/tyre pressures/tyre make etc etc.

I ordered LCR top mounts from Sere Motors in NI. Great service

I got a B in GCSE maths but that one got me a fail haha - still 30 quid, nothing.

the standerd s3 ones where with bearings and vat at £22 the lcr ones where £26+ vat and then + bearings at about £20 the pair so its a lot more .The psi ones where £40 posted and £8.40 for the bearing so a lot cheaper
