My first Impression is, after installing these products the engine power is transmitted much more directly to the rear wheels at low speed.
The vibration at idling was reduced. My engine has Kent cam LE1812 and Omega's forged pistons.
I haven't checked yet at high speed.

I don't know this area of my car very well (yet) but doesn't the replacement mount lack the adjustment of the original?

I don't think the "original" in the picture is the actual original mount but an aftermarket upgrade. I'm not sure the true original is adjustable is it?

Expensive bit of kit at £300+. Is it worth it?

It's the adjustable engine Mount that David introduced, not the genuine one.
It is sold at eliseparts. But I can't say it's upgraded.

I'm satisfied with Vibra because the vibration has reduced and the acceleration has become greater.

I’m considering fitting these to Project Shed when I swap over subframes, engine and LSD equipped gearbox.

Just wondering if anyone had long term experience with it and whether they felt that the investment was worth it?

Rob, I suspect this kit will be more popular with Elise owners, they are richer than has MG drivers.

You're not wrong, the original is not adjustable.
