can anyone explain the benefits of motor and trans mounts to me?

Open your hood and grab the engine and shake it. Seems like it will fall out... All of that equates to drivetrain slop and wheel hop. Making the engine and trans not move will help put power to the wheels and make for a much much crisper shift while getting rid of a lot of wheel hop as well.
^ what sanderz said.
I drove another gti with stock mounts recently and forgot what wheel hop felt like. Such a god awful feeling.
I haven't had a real issue w wheel hop, at least not like my mk6 had but good to know.
Do you have good tires? Before I modded my car a lot I never really noticed the wheel hop either until I got good sticky tires. Got a lot worse as I added more power.
I have the stock Bridgestone S001s that came w the car. They aren't the best, but aren't terrible. We're over 350 at the wheels now so I don't think I'll be adding much more at this point.
