Default Anyone actually like their poly transmission mount?

Just seems like no one has anything good to say about them. Trying to decide whether or not I want the poly or the 1LE mount.
(It's going on an A4)

Get the 1LE - no good reason to get the poly. You probably wont tear up the 1LE and ride will be much nicer. As far as launching/traction is concerned (since the torque arm is indirectly anchored through this point) - well, just get a poly torque arm mount and call it a compromise.

I've got a poly tranny/torque arm mount, and besides not breaking anymore mounts, I can't tell the difference. Cheap insurance I guess <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

I had the poly mount on the last two F-cars and it feels alot more "connected" + it stopped the FLPs from banging.

Tried the 1LE mount too and couldn`t tell the difference at all..waste of $$ IMOP. <img src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" border="0" alt="[judgement]" />

On my car, the poly trans mount completely stopped my y pipe from banging on the floor. There was an increase in noise and vibration in the car after the install.

I even did the mods that were recommended for the poly mount. I used to get the most horrible grinding noise at idle. Now that I have the T1, it's not as noticeable, 'cause the harmonics are different, I guess.
