the standard engine mount is more than up to the job of stopping the engine from jumping around lol.

so it sounds like there is no benefit then? unless u rag the shit out of your car
then it will stop it rocking as much?

if they are more then up to the job then why do i see so many shagged ones? everything is a comprimise on cars between reliability/comfort/performance, by the nature of the drivers of saxos the lower engine mount gets plenty of gip hence the mount wears out,people fit upgraded ones just like land rover owners fit polybushes so they aren't replacing standard ones every 6 months or so when they are used.

Plus they are designed for fast road/rally use.

and i'v found with Citroen the smallest things make the biggest changes.

You'v not got to rag your car for the rubber to deteriorate, all rubber does after time and weather conditions.
