Description
Transform your drive.
Get your power to the road or track where you need it from the RacingLine Engine Mounts.
What does it do?
To harness your power increases, and transfer that power to the track where you need it, our Uprated Drivetrain Mounts will give a much more solid drive, and crucially add durability to any high-powered or hard-driven car.
The whole engine and gearbox (the drivetrain) is located in just three places. The two upper mounts support the entire weight of the engine/gearbox, plus a third Lower Mount underneath the engine.
Our Uprated Drivetrain Mounts are a CNC-machined, fully engineered replacement set of three mounts designed to greatly decrease engine and transmission movement, ensuring clean transfer of power to the track.
The risk of wheel-hop under hard acceleration is almost eliminated as the whole engine and ‘box assembly is firmly prevented from juddering when wheelspin occurs and through aggressive gearchages.
Available as a Lower Mount only for fast road use, and a full set of 3 Drivetrain Mounts for track/
dragstrip/very high power cars.
Do i need uprated engine mounts?
OK, these Mounts aren’t the most visible or sexy of modifications. But for those in the know, with high-power cars or who use their car regularly on track, our Uprated Engine Mount Set is truly one of the most worthwhile upgrades to the driving dynamics of their car. Suitable for either DSG or manual cars.
The Uprated Full Set of Engine Mount stiffens the whole location of the drivetrain greatly to give a much tighter, sharper feeling to your car. It removes the loose feeling when coming on and off-throttle during aggressive gearchanges, and banishes wheel-hop under hard acceleration as the whole engine and ‘box assembly judders.
This adds strength to the drivetrain, helping to protect from future wear and breakages. Rather than some aftermarket ‘push in’ bushes which crudely fill the voids in the original factory mounts, the RacingLine mounts are a completely redesigned replacement mount assembly and torque link.
Make no mistake, the full uprated engine mount kit is a relatively extreme modification to make to your car. Naturally, more noise from the drivetrain comes into the cabin (and more than when the Lower Engine Mount only is fitted), but most keen drivers love the sense that they are more ‘connected’ to their car, and the gentle ‘growl’ that the mount conveys. Allow a few hundred miles/kms of driving for the mount to settle in after installation.
LOWER MOUNT
For most hard-driven road cars, we recommend starting with the Lower Mount only. You can always add the two upper engine and gearbox mounts at a later stage.
A lot the fore/aft movement in the drivetrain is controlled by the Lower Mount – meaning that changing it alone makes a big difference to your drive.
The additional two upper mounts add more strength, but also add in more NVH (noise, vibration, harshness)
Our A5-platform mount (think Golf 5/6/Scirocco/S3 8P etc) is a two-piece unit pressed into the subframe. It’s a clever dual-durometer design, and features a cut-out to clear bigger roll-bars on the 4WD cars.
The MQB & MQB ‘EVO’ platform Lower Mount also includes a billet aluminium Torque Link. Our testing showed that the pressed steel part used on the MQB-platform cars lack the stiffness needed.
New: the lower mount is now available for aluminium subframe MQB & MQB ‘evo’ cars – such as Golf 8, Audi S3 8V & 8Y, Audi TT.
