I have solid engine mounts, engine damper, diff brace and polybushes all round. It\'s pretty tight but not unbearably noisy. Tend to hear the diff noise more on coast than power.

I have the full interior still in mine too, when I had the back seats out it was MUCH noisier, so if your car is stripped bear that in mind. Although people who strip their cars out aren\'t usually too bothered about road noise... ;)

Whats your opinions on this stuff for a drift car?

I would say these parts are important for a car used for any kind of racing, diff brace stops diff movement under hard starts, wheel tramp. Gear box brace to stop gear box moving and stop  the difficulty of finding third gear under harsh acceleration. Engine damper stops engine movement, I\'m sure there are few people with racing experience that can give you better advice.

I\'m looking to get these bits on my car to help stop things from braking if I decideto go racing.

Instead of solid engine mounts I would recommend getting poly bush uprated ones, Prof has fitted them to his FC, they do increase vibration a bit, but nothing as mental like solid ones!
