I have Vibra-Technics on my car, they're at Corby. There was some increased cabin noise at first but that seems to have disappeared. They've eliminated any movement in the engine, even at start-up.

I don't have any experience of the group n ones but the vibra were recommended over them because of use, road, track, 1/4mile.
I understood they are a beefier item.

The Hard Race stuff is very good and I fitted them to my old V5 STi. I had the gear box mounts to match and they worked very well together.

Don't forget the pitch mount (dog bone) does a large amount of supporting the movement of the engine. I have just replaced mine with a STi Grp N item from Advance Automotives. But I did fit a billet CDF dog bone to the STi.
