034 is the way to go.

I would also agree that 034 are the way to go too. In my experience just get all the mounts that they sell. Other wise the one you miss out just becomes the weak link in the chain and you get a lot of movement from that part.

Can most of these mounts be fitted with the engine in situ by just losening them an lifting the engine slightly or something similar?

I have street density and don't notice much vibration so not sure what the track density would be like. I would say that if you really want it locked down then go for the track but if you just want a decent upgrade from stock then go with the street. Again i would say get all the mounts you can including the mounts for the back of the rear diff. I think the cage for the front poly snub mount would be a good idea too. I just ordered them off of the 034 motorsport site. Good guys.

I'd like to see someone fit the 034 snub mount and associated cage with the engine / front frame on the car. It's not easy to get the mount on the engine nor get the mount in to the cage. And that is with the engine and cage out of the car and in the garage.

The best mounts for a standardish car are surely Audi ones? I only swapped after the continual battering of so much torque wrecked the standard ones.
S4 - no longer missing 1 engine. Last seen leaving trailing black lines of gearbox oil.
