Less movement of the motor and transmission, they are stiffer and stronger.

Later model ( > 01.5 ) S4s shares engine mounts with RS4s.

Default replacing my worn out stock transmission mounts with RS4s was a great upgrade... almost as

noticeable as installing the TG short shifter... night and day feeling with the new mounts, wish I had done it sooner.

Default Now that 034 makes better (imho) for less, none

I have 034 street line motor and tranny mounts and akipol (on the mobile not going to spell check that) diff mounts. No extra vibration and are suppose to be stiffer/stronger than rs4.

With 034 motor mounts? Everything I've heard says otherwise.

Default From the factory, yes. As replacement parts, no.

As I recently learned while trying to buy RS4 mounts, dealers cannot buy them even for the cars which came with them from the factory.
