Default Snub Mount

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/1181/22501.jpg"></center><p>
Seems like the snub mounts from 034, Greedspeed, VAST are all the same as this one1975-1984 Rabbit, Golf, Jetta, New Beetle) Prothane Front Motor Mount Kit 22-501, which is about $10 plus shipping.

Correct?

Yep, and I hate it. I prefer the APR or PureMS one.

Default other options:

Stern: ~$40 shipped
Apikol: ~$40 shipped
APR: ~$50 shipped
BFI MK1 Stage 1 or Stage 2: ~$30-$35 shipped (looks like the old version PureMs mount)
any preference?

Default I've only tried teh VW part and the APR. (I bought a purems one but gave it to someone else)

Isn't the APR $39? (maybe you added shipping in your prices)

Good to hear. Apikol seems to have some great quality products.

I have it on mine and the difference is substantial over stock.

I have to say the Apikol mount is the prettiest.

Default Is there to much vibration?

I take it that is the reason for the apparent disdain towards these mounts.

I have full set of prothane engine and tranny mounts on my DSM.

Their urethane used tends to be of a higher durometer than most others. They are rock hard stiff, needless to say a fair amount of vibration is felt.
