Default Aftermarket diff mounts - vibration

I need some diff mounts for my new puddy mod diff as mine are fooked.

Looking at cost friendly solutions and see that innovative mounts are fairly cheap.

Can anyone confirm if the 75a (track spec) cause any noticeable nasty vibration or negative effects?

Feedback on any mounts welcome

It's all subjective - this post implies that Puddy recommends to leave them OEM..

Depends on the feel, I would go for the softer of the polybushes to get the balance between OEM and uprated. Depends if it is a daily!

I've got the 85A diff mounts and they seem fine. Some additional noise (not much), no additional vibration or harshness I can tell. I do have Vibra-Technics engine mounts which are certainly harsher and noisier than OEM so they may be masking the additional NVH from the diff mounts.

I've emailed puddymod to see what he recommends.

How bad are your mounts? If they're 'just a bit soft', then collars are an option. I've fitted some and found them to be almost as quiet as without them. Plus much better throttle response due to less flexion.

I fitted Innovative 60A mounts which I seem to recall are ever so slightly harder than OEM. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there is no discernible difference, beyond that the original mount was shot to bits allowing the diff to waggle about, which it no longer does.

Thanks all

Yeah was going to get them from tegiwa.

Puddy recommends OEM or the 60a's so I'll go with the 60's I think.

Mine have just split but arnt leaking.

Rears are fine. Also the underneath of my car is all sorted (powder coated & bushed) so removal is straight forward
