i have a dct car with the vibratechnics road going mounts and they have been great. they have been lasting and feel great. the benefit is a longer lasting mount. there probably isn't a distinguishing difference between new oem mounts and vibra mounts, but the vibra mounts last longer. i would even theorize added benefit of virba mounts is simply realized because going from trashed oem mounts to a nice mount is noticeable. it doesn't "transform" the car- its more of a restoration of how it should feel.

Thank you all for the responses. Maybe I should have elaborated on what I meant by the “feel”. What I meant by that is when I put stiffer motor mounts in stick cars the shifter feel is improved such that it makes gears easier to find and provides better feedback through the shifter itself hence why I was asking what would be the benefit to adding these to a DCT car where you get every gear with the pull of a paddle. Thanks!
