Fits Lotus Elise / Exige K-Series engined Vibra Technics Complete Engine Mount Kit - Competition LTS242MX
This Mount is Location 4 on the diagram below.
The following product is suitable for: Lotus Elise / Exige K-Series engined
The carry-over Rover K-series engine mount system used in the Elise and Exige has long been known to be a weakness in the car. Failures of the mounts and brackets cracking are common problems, particularly in cars used for competitive motorsport and track days. At long last there is a viable alternative to the original system that has been developed for both road and track use.
More than five months of intensive development and testing are behind this system. It has been balanced with the stiffness of all 3 mounts optimised to perform together perfectly, therefore it is only available as a complete kit. The Competition version is designed to suit cars that are only used for competitive motorsport and would be too harsh for normal daily use. The Road version has been specifically designed with the track day user in mind giving outstanding vibration isolation performance, maintaining an acceptable level of comfort for the driver and passenger both on road and track.
Advantages of this system are:-
# Improved durability.
# Significant reduction in engine movement.
# Improved handling and driver feedback from the car.
# Weight reduction of more than 1kg over the standard system.
# Road and Competition versions available.
The position of all mountings is described as it would be from the drivers seat. For example, Left Hand mounts are on the Gearbox / passenger side of a Right Hand Drive car.

Relevant Notes: Note to MGF/TF owners. The Elise uses the same hydraulic right hand mount as the MG but this mount is designed to fit the Elise only as the Elise uses an additional bracket which our mount also replaces. If you are interested in upgrading your standard mount we can adapt the height to suit the MG. Please contact us for details.

They are not hard versions of standard parts but a completely re-engineered solution, giving improved durability and handling for both road cars and competition cars requiring rubber bushed suspension.
Vibratechnics Uprated Engine MountsVibra-Technics products are designed specifically for high performance applications where a direct replacement for the standard mount is required along with a much higher level of engine control to cope with higher engine outputs and higher road inputs caused by fast driving. The Fast Road mounts give significant improvements in ride and handling without adversely affecting vibration isolation. The competition mounts can also eliminate clearance problems with strut braces, exhaust systems, body panels etc. They improve handling whilst still giving vibration isolation at high engine speeds.
Competition mounts are not recommended for road use.
Vibra-Technics have developed a small range of suspension bushes which are designed to significantly reduce the suspension geometry changes resulting from acceleration, braking and cornering forces. This gives improvements in the car stability and cornering "feel" without limiting normal suspension travel.
