Henry Ellers (verified owner) –
There is going to be good and bad in this review and I’m trying to consider the pro’s and con’s.
I installed a set of these on my wife’s B9 A4. Immediately upon startup and idle, I could tell I was going to have to rip them out and replace them with OEM.
The NVH is much greater than expected. Prior with the active OEM mounts, you really couldn’t feel the engine vibration. The car was very smooth at idle. With these CTS mounts, it feels like the drivers seat is attached to the engine. You can really feel the vibration. Almost like a light massage chair. This is greatly reduced / is what you’d expect the additional NVH would be if you shift from D to S (as it raises the RPM).
Without saying anything, I let my wife get in and her first comment was about why her seat was shaking. She said she’d drive a few times and see how she felt about it. But after the second drive, she said it just was annoying and she’d prefer OEM. She asked if there was a break-in period (which I was surprised but I guess she’s been around me long enough to know about such things!). I said it’s possible they may SLIGHTLY unstiffen. But it’s not likely it will make a massive difference.
The good.. I can tell these are well made. So, they certainly will last longer than the OEM (lasted 55k before leaking but without the rubber tearing). They really make the car feel more planted and nearly eliminates the drivetrain slop.
Unfortunately, these just aren’t a good fit for an OEM replacement without sacrificing comfort.
I will say, I did not contact the company about returning as I had already installed them and will just take a hit re-selling them second hand. So, I cannot comment on that aspect of customer service. I will say they shipped them very quickly and again, the product seems high quality (zero issues with installation, etc..). So, if you do not mind a bit of additional vibration at idle for an increased drivability aspect. These mounts are for you.
