We offer a complete line of performance motor mounts for all Mk3 and Corrado SLC. Our line of Full Poly mounts is unlike any other poly options available. They are machined from extruded stock, not gravity cast. This results in both a more uniform product as well as a more durable one.
Be aware that the different motors will react differently to the stages. The ABA both weighs less and is positioned differently than the VR6. In general, the ABA will experience more vibration than the VR6 with the same mounts.
The hardware provided is grade 10.9 which is much stronger than the stock bolts, those of which are prone to breakage due to age and especially with harder mounts.
All mounts are available as kits or individual pieces. If ordering a single mount or piece, please specify front, rear, or upper to make sure you get the correct hardware.
BFI Stealth Series Motor Mount Complete Kit
These mounts are specifically engineered to fall in between new factory mounts and our popular .5 Mounts. Shore hardness is 50A - For comparison, the OEM mounts are around 40-45A in holey hardness. These are constructed from extruded stock polyurethane and are NOT made from rubber like the factory pieces.
This will ensure an extremely long product life that will not break down like rubber, while still giving added performance with factory-like comfort preserved. Included in the complete kit is a G60 solid rubber transmission mount. Stealth Mounts are Ideal for those that want improved upgrade mounts for performance without sacrificing interior vibration levels on both VR6 and 4-cylinder models.
Complete kit w/trans (5pcs w/hardware)
BFI Stage .5 Polyurethane Motor Mount Complete Kit
These are poly, 60A in shore hardness. They are softer than both our Stage I poly(85A) and Stage II Delrin mounts . These mounts are still a huge upgrade over the stock swiss-cheese rubber mounts.
We developed these mounts for those wanting an upgrade in both performance and durability over the OEM parts, yet were still very concerned with daily comfort. For comparison, the OEM mounts are around 40-45A hardness. These mounts will provide an almost factory level of comfort in VR6 cars while offering both an increase in performance and greatly increased level of durability. Vibration is more evident in 4-cylinder models.

BFI Stage 1 Polyurethane Motor Mount Complete Kit
These are poly, 85A in shore hardness. For comparison, the OEM mounts are around 40-45A hardness. BFI Stage 1’s are a huge upgrade over the stock swiss-cheese rubber mounts. Stage I is intended for a higher level of performance, over our Stage .5 and Stealth.
They still offer reasonable ride quality, with some increased vibration over OEM in VR6 cars. Vibration is far more evident in 4-cylinder models.
Complete Kit w/trans (5pcs w/hardware)
BFI Stage 2 Delrin Complete Motor Mount Kit
These are Delrin, and fall in between poly and solid metal as far as stiffness goes. Delrin, like some poly versions, requires some break in time. It will take 150-250 miles for them to soften to their effective hardness. They also require some heat in them to soften up. And on colder days they may have more vibration at start up until driven on for a few miles. They are also self-lubricating so it will never squeak.
The Stage 2 mounts are designed for pure performance, at the expense of ride comfort. They will hold the motor and transmission very securely and help get all the power to the ground. If you drag race or are after total performance, then the Stage II is for you. If you are concerned about vibration, then perhaps you may want to go with a less rigid mount from BFI.

I have the stage 2 (delrin) in my MK3 VR6 GTI. I absolutely love them! The vibration may take some getting used to at first for some people, but I personally don't mind it. Shifting feels incredible, and that motor doesn't move 1 inch. Actually, I have to go out and tighten them because it seems like the bolts may have loosened up a little. I'll probably put some lock tite on them. I definitely recommend these, and wouldn't have it any other way.My buddy has a mk2 golf g60 with a poly rear insert, delrin trans mount, and solid front mount. When I get out of his car my car feels like a mercedes. They really don't vibrate a whole lot once they're warm and broken in.

theoWe do offer inserts in several stages for Mk4's, Here: BFI MK4 Engine Performance
The factory bolts for the dogbone on Mk4's are not stretch bolts and can be re-used. Mounting Hardware is not included with our dogbones.

thanks

Got my Stage 1 full kit ... Only to find that the trans mount had stripped threads. by hand a bolt will not thread into the mount , now i have to run a tap through it and if the threads deeper down are junk, swap the metal threaded part of the mount with my old one , kinda irritating,.

Ordered and paid 5/7...........had to call 5/14 because no tracking # was sent. I was told 5/17 or 5/18 for shipping at the earliest, it's a bit annoying to be so delayed and not be told of any delay when I ordered! I've been waiting for them to be back in stock for 2 months and I'm a little worried they still aren't available and I'm getting played!
**edit**Just got an email and a tracking #, thanks! Was hoping there wasn't a run around, as I've always had good service and was worried it was becomming a little MJM like!![]()
