I needed them to restrict engine movement that would otherwise stress the longer 4-2-1 manifold too much.

i was just saying is that the curent standard ones are quite worn after 120000miles so are going to need replacing so may as well upgrade to better quality and good brand products as looked at the bottom engine bush from power flex is only £25 so for a couple pound difference may as well upgrade
If i was to put the power flex on would there be anything that i would notice different ??

#9: Re: engine mounts Author: ryanovsalford, Location: manchesterPosted: Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:15 pm ---- Ok cheers for the advice thonk i will just opt for the box one as you said little french cars have enough rattles as it is lol

Think how your engine moves when you put power through it. The engine pivots on the other mounts and moves back and forth with the power. Uprating these two bushes will give you the most improvement and will also greatly reduce wear on the pivot bushes. Look at my project if you are unsure.
And I agree with all the above - I really wouldn't worry about the others unless they are fubarred.
