RE: best motor mount configuration?

["Scott F. Williams" <sfwilliams@home.com>]

I love my TT front/VW Motorsports rear mount combo. The vibes come through a
little bit. However, it doesn't bother me at all. I'd say that the day to
day manners are very nice. I also see no need to install stiffer sidemounts.
The control that this combo offers is perfectly adequate for my street racer
needs. The Warpig ran the same combination, btw.
