(GrpN Solid Rubber Baker BM double bonded bush) currently polybushing the front end of my car and wondered if they were better than the power flex ones, also do these need to pressed into the mount or will bicep power do it lol, cheers.

they need pressed in, should be able to bang it with a mallet or in a vice :y: never used them but baker bm stuff is usually good value for money, their site direct may be cheaper

I fitted one of these very same bushes to my mk2 vts and the vibrations were unbearable, i ended up buying a brand new genuine mount and have never looked back,
As far as fitting is concerned you need to cut your old one out which is dead easy with a hack saw blade just cut the plastic, then as already said carfully use a tube and hit the new one in carefully (unless you know someone with a press)
So all in all if you can put up with the constant vibrations then i wouldnt recomend them for the road, i didnt notice any improvements at all with it fitted compared to a new genuine citroen one,
Hope this helps.

Cheers mate thanks for the heads up, maybe the power flex ones will be abit less harsh?

thats fuck all mate, ive got a solid group A lower mount in mine, the vibrations arent that bad, really, and after 2 weeks you forget theyre even there, mines a daily drive, if "citreonsport" reads this he'll confirm, hes been in as he was gonna buy the mount off me,

awesome mod mine is, transfers so much more power to the wheelsit really surprised me), not sure how good that will be as its still rubber, will be decent like

EDIT- if the virbation is really realy bad it shows your two other mounts are VERY worn and should be replaced

[mattmartin]

Cheers mate, might give one a try and like you say if it vibrates badly then the other mounts may need replacing aswell

Just fitted full group N mount set and the vibrations aren't even that bad

It's the baker bm kit, very good stuff!

I agree aswell, when I first had GrpNs I didnt think the vibration was that bad, my GrpA was amazing vibrations though, I loved the feel of it and not being able to see out my rear view mirror thanks to it vibrating so much :p

haha, mine's the same, cant even work out what kind of car is 60ft behind you lol, the feeling when you put your foot down is awesome though, really feel the engine accelerate hard, as said, one of the best mods ive done to my car, besides then bembo's
