    Group Buy Status: CLOSED

    We're hosting a VWvortex Group Buy on our Density Line Dogbone Mounts and Engine/Transmission Mounts for the MkV & MkVI! The Group Buy will be open until 05/11/2012, or until 25 people area added to the list, whichever comes first.

    To get on the list, please PM me with the following information:
    • Your Full Name
    • Your Email Address
    • Your Shipping Address
    • Mounts Desired
    • Engine (2.0T/VR6/2.5L)

    These mounts are in-stock and ready to ship! Once your payment is received, the order will ship in 1-2 business days.


    Density Line Dogbone Mount Pair




    034Motorsport's Density Line Mounts are the new standard in comfort and performance. Our mounts are redesigned with performance in mind, and manufactured from high-durometer rubber for increased performance and durability, without sacrificing comfort. Density Line Mounts are void-free and fluid-free, eliminating the slop associated with the factory mount.

    The Density Line Dogbone Mount Pair is manufactured from 60 durometer rubber, which is approximately 35% stiffer than stock. Since the mounts are also void-free and solid-filled, the resulting mount is approximately 85% stiffer than stock.

    The result is greatly reduced drivetrain slop, crisper shifting, and minimal wheel hop, without any significant increase in noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH) inside of the cabin. These mounts are a completely re-engineered performance solution, not just inserts for use with the factory mount.

    Features:
    • Manufactured from 60 Durometer Rubber with Void-Free Construction
    • Reduced Drivetrain Slop
    • Decreased Engine Movement Under Load
    • More Direct Power Transfer
    • Improved Shifting Feel
    • Complete Drop-In Replacement of Factory Mounts
    • Sold in Pairs

    Fitment:
    • 2006 - 2013 Audi A3 (8P)
    • 2006 - 2013 Audi TT / TTS / TTRS (8J)
    • 2005 - 2009 Volkswagen Eos / GLI / GTI / Jetta / R32 / Rabbit (MkV)
    • 2010 - 2013 Volkswagen Eos / GLI / Golf / GTI / Jetta / R (MkVI)

    Installation Instructions:

    Warranty:
    • 1 Year Limited Replacement Warranty (If you encounter any issues with our products outside of the warranty period, we will work with you to provide a resolution.)

    Retail Price: $60
    Group Buy Price: $45


    Street Density:

    The Street Density Engine Mount Pair is manufactured from 60 durometer rubber, which is approximately 35% stiffer than stock. Since the mounts are also void-free and solid-filled, the resulting mount is approximately 60% stiffer than stock. The cast aluminum mount bodies have also been redesigned to cope with the added stress of spirited driving.

    The result is greatly reduced drivetrain slop, crisper shifting, and minimal wheel hop, without any significant increase in noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH) inside of the cabin. These mounts are a completely re-engineered performance solution, not just inserts for use with the factory mounts.

    Track Density:

    The Track Density Engine Mount Pair is manufactured from 80 durometer rubber, which is approximately 90% stiffer than stock. Since the mounts are also void-free and solid-filled, the resulting mount is approximately 120% stiffer than stock. The cast aluminum mount bodies have also been redesigned to cope with the added stress of spirited driving.

    The result is a locked-down drivetrain, solid shifting, and virtually no wheel hop. Track Density Mounts will cause a noticeable increase in noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) inside of the cabin. These mounts are a completely re-engineered performance solution, not just inserts for use with the factory mounts.

    Features:

    Manufactured from 60 Durometer (Street Density) or 80 Durometer (Track Density) Rubber with Void-Free Construction
    Reduced Drivetrain Slop
    Decreased Engine Movement Under Load
    More Direct Power Transfer
    Improved Shifting Feel
    Complete Drop-In Replacement of Factory Engine/Transmission Mounts
    Sold in Pairs (One Engine Mount & One Transmission Mount)

    Fitment:
    • 2006 - 2013 Audi A3 (8P) - 2.0T FSI / 2.0 TSI / 3.2L 24V VR6
    • 2006 - 2013 Audi TT / TTS (8J) - 2.0T FSI / 2.0 TSI / 3.2L 24V VR6
    • 2005 - 2009 Volkswagen Eos / GLI / GTI / Jetta / R32 (MkV) - 2.0T FSI / 2.0 TSI / 3.2L 24V VR6
    • 2010 - 2013 Volkswagen Eos / GLI / Golf / GTI / R (MkVI) - 2.0 TSI

    Warranty:
    • 1 Year Limited Replacement Warranty (If you encounter any issues with our products outside of the warranty period, we will work with you to provide a resolution.)

    Retail Price: $240
    Group Buy Price: $195


    High-Durometer Rubber vs. Polyurethane:

    Density Line Mounts are manufactured from high-durometer rubber instead of polyurethane for a number of reasons. While vulcanized rubber mounts are more expensive to prototype due to increased complexity of manufacturing and high initial tooling costs, rubber is inherently better than polyurethane as a damping medium for mounts and bushings.

    Rubber is able to deal with stress under both tension and compression, while polyurethane mounts rely on the damping medium to be effective only under compression. Rubber is also excellent in shear, where polyurethane is ineffective, making it ideal for control arm bushings that apply a shear force to the bushing during articulation.

    Rubber does not pack and wear like polyurethane does, which ultimately results in a long-lasting part with consistent performance and comfort.

    Street Density vs. Track Density:

    We recommend Street Density Mounts for all daily-driven vehicles. They offer a significant increase in performance with a minimal increase in NVH transfer into the cabin. Track Density Mounts are recommended for purpose-built track cars, or those who do not mind significantly increased engine noise and vibration in the cabin.

    It's the same as the factory procedure, which is basically removing the airbox/battery box, supporting the engine/transmission, and removing the bolts securing the factory mount.

    Plenty of room left on the list! We can also split up the engine/transmission mount pair if you're just looking for one or the other.

    07 GTi.. fun times
    04-30-2012 05:25 PM #12
    As i'm cruising 80mph, when i accelerate i'm starting to notice more vibrations in gas pedal as well as what sort of feels to be in the dogbone mount area as well. It's a sort of performance robbing vibration @ low 3000 RPMs that dissapates as RPMs increase.
    Question:
    Would i solve this with a certain mount upgrade? Dogbone? torque arm insert?

    Unless the vibration is being caused by a failed factory mount, these wont help to alleviate the issue.

    You may want to take a peek at the stock ones on your car to see if they are torn or broken. If not, then chances are that something else is causing the vibration you're experiencing.

    I installed the mounts last weekend and couldn't be more satisfied. No cabin vibrations unless full throttle accelerations and shifts are now smooth as butter. Thanks for the quick service
