Ever since I got the GTI, I noticed the terrible wheel hop on hard acceleration where the entire front half of the car felt like a sponge. The 500 treadwear tires didn't help, but if we want grip and convert that power to ground we need to stiffen up the front mount.
I ordered the 'Street' durometer insert from Powerflex, as recommended. It's a pretty straightforward install and the bushing sits TIGHT inside the engine mount. This equates to a roughly 25% increase in NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) in the inside of the car. BUT, the wheel hop is all but gone leaving a stiffer and much more satisfying feeling that comes when you put your foot down.
The noise and vibration is really nonexistent when moving, reverse gear is the most noticeable and at stop lights/signs it's really not bad at all. My GTI is the main car for baby transporting, and testing with a newborn she doesn't seem to mind at all.
