i replaced all five mounts on my EK4 a month ago with Spoon mounts. took me around 5 hours ( i'm not a mechanic ) to complete the job with the valuable help of a workshop manual. i was a bit disappointment initially because there were a lot of vibrations in the cabin and all sorts of stuff were rattling that i was previously unaware of. however, after careful thought i realised part of the problem was that i didn't use a torque wrench. it is very important that the bolts which goes through the brackets/mounts are at the correct values. failing to do this cause excessive amounts of vibration. i got my hands on the correct tool and a week later, i loosened and retorqued each bolt accurately and it has contributed significantly to driving comfort. the cabin still vibrates a little on cold starts on mornings but is minimal when idling after it fully warms up. after, i no longer get any wheel hop and the clutch feel more direct. it is not as unforgiving as a rigid mounts, there is still SOME engine movement. my gear selection is smoother and the gearstick no longer rocks back and forth either when revving or coming up off the accel when driving. i would also add that having taken a close look as well as photos of each of the mounts side by side, i can see that the centre hole on the gearbox and rear mounts have been relocated slightly lower about 5mm. maybe this has done in an effort to move the centre of mass of the engine & gearbox down.
