Gents,
my motor mounts are shot. confirmed it this weekend.

what options do we have beside "semi solid". i dont want to have any vibration in the cabin, but i need my motor to stay put.

porsche makes THREE different types of mounts for our cars.
They make one specifically for the Cabriolet, they make one for ALL of our cars, and they make a specific one for gt2 ($350 EACH).

does anyone have any experience ? What are my options ?

 

I would just go for the GT2 mounts then if you don't want aftermarket mounts.

I'm sure they would fit but always good to double check!

 

i have the RSS semi solid mount, yes you do feel a little vibration for the first couple of hours. after that you wont notice the vibration AT ALL, the way the car handles now is like almost night n day

 

honestly it's so hard to tell any difference on the OEM ones... and to give you an idea pretty much all of the GT2/GT3's we work on end up getting these anyway:

yllw, sharky, are these solid or semisolid ? what you think of the new porsche motormounts (the electronic ones) ?
i was thinking of getting those, and wiring them to my shocks, so when i put pasm on stiff, the motor mounts "turn on" per say.

i really dont want to deal with a vibrating motor while im on the phone or having a conversation with someone (my car is quiet on the inside). and i mainly use it for long cruises, so i definitely dont want to sacrifice comfort. when im not driving it on the highway, i am sitting in bumper to bumper traffic in manhattan..

 

how do the rss mounts compare to these ?

 

Factory Porsche 964RS semi solid engine mounts . Proven product. Just a hint of vibration at idle otherwise smooth with no additional NVH..
I've had these on my track car for 2+ years and they are great.

RSS motor mounts looks and built quality is as good as it gonna get. AWD also has great quality products,

 

you will feel a little buzzzz from the engine but in no way you re gonna hear it.

How does one know when his motor mounts are shot? What is there to wear out? thanks js

 

I was interested in hearing if anyone had any experience with these Torque Solution mounts as well? Anyone??

I have the hydraulic ones in my 2011RS. I had the regular ones in my 2010 and the RSS in my 07RS. All were a-ok in traffic but it was hard to tell the difference on the mk2 cars. The hydraulic ones would not be an easy retrofit and expensive... The car with the least slop was the 07 with the rss semi solid.
Those are pretty similar and a good choice too

 

996tt x73 motor mounts, similar to the rs964 mounts.

 

I've read nothing but good things about the RSS mounts... My car is really sloppy/bouncy going into gear so I think I am going to try them out. I drive a cab and almost always have the top down so I'm not too concerned about NVH.

 

Yep they sure do help out!
