BFI HD MK3 and Rado VR6 Motor Mounts

I have stage 1's all the way around including the tranny mount. I would recomend replacing all the mounts at once because the stage 1's were too much for the 'heavy duty' rado mount causing it pop. Also, after the mounts were installed i noticed my motor sitting slightly higher than before, it actually would hit the underside of my hood when i would start to slam gears causing it to dent. After i installed the stage 1 tranny mount about 3 weeks ago i noticed that my tranny sounded like it was whinning, but apparently thats normal if you put a solid tranny mount on a VR. I love the way my VR drives now, it feels very solid, and as my friends say 'feels like a go-cart' cause of the mild vibration.

just drove mine for like 4 hours. (stage1 all around+tranny) feels awesome. not too much vibration, theres a verycool hard engagement of the starter, i can feel it with my with my butt. nice quick response and gear banging gives me whilash.

Does anyone have a clear answer on how the stage 1 vibrates compared to the vf mounts?

[black forest ind]

VF's are a complete redesign and replacement mount, our are inserts designed to work in the same manner as the stock mounts and using the same brackets.

As far as firmness our Stage.5 & 1 are softer than the VF. Our Stage 2 is harder

Do u currently have any in stock? When I ordered my Stage2 Complete Kitseveral months back u guys were out of the Poly tranny mounts.

You didn't post a price for just the Stage2 tranny.

[black forest ind]

Yes all mounts are in stock, and all prices can be found on the website

[capthowdy_1968]

Are you still selling the subframe mounts? I didn't see them on the website.

[black forest ind]

Are you asking about the Powerflex units, 2 on each end?

If so not at this time, dealing the English is complicated....at best

[lowginstr]

for awesome motor mounts

[otisranson]

I got the .5 stage for my B4 Passat, very happy! Already have about 500 miles on them.

[vr6chris]

i bought the stage .5's for my vr. they were way too soft. so i bought a delrin front mount. car feels great.

[formulavr6]

Just ordered .fives, cant wait to put them on.

[wagsGTI]

I heard that the vibrations caused some bolts to loosen up in various places even with the .5's, is this true

[BiSiE]

other then my head no problems so far

[wagsGTI]

i really want a new set of mounts but im not sure which ones to get the stage 1's or .5's?? i will be commuting back and forth to college come fall(about 40 miles one way trip) my engine shifts way too much for my liking!!! which ones should i go with. i use to skateboard and i know the difference between 60A and 85A which seems pretty hard. I can stand the vibrations just not may car shaking apart on me. its the VR6 OBDII with exhaust and intake. what do you suggest???

[black forest ind]

If you are at all concerned about vibrations we recommend the Stage .5

[wagsGTI]

is the .5's still a substantional amount of engine movement??? Ive heard that the satge ones dont really vibrate too bad. this car has got to last me through college so i really dont want to mess anything up i just can stand barely letting of the gas and then barely pushing down on it, having my engine slam back and forth. and when i step on the gas i dont want any hesitation from engine movement.

Anyone have any feedback on the stage 1's

maybe would i be better off mixing and matching the .5's and stage ones???

i appreciate the info so far!!!

[black forest ind]

The .5's are a definite improvement over stock. Neither mount will "mess anything up" you will just experience more vibration with the Stage 1.

[wagsGTI]

how much horsepower will these mounts add?

Just kiddin but thanks for all the help and i think im gonna go with the stage1's. ive heard great things thus far about them. thanks

How does the hardness compare to these?
http://www.mjmautohaus.com/cat...d=816

the WRD's don't have info on shore hardness.

[black forest ind]

Our Stage.5 are softer, and the Stage1 is harder

[28]

great info and customer service

[28]

I just ordered the stage 2 kit. I'm ready to feel the motor in the drivers seat. I'll post my feedback here.

[28]

got the stage 2's installed. nice product, not as harsh as I expected. Really nice high rpm shift improvement

[Gabe.]

so did you get those tranny brackets in stock yet?

[black forest ind]

Yes transmission mounts are now available
