I thought the RSS mounts made the car vibrate too much and ended taking them off.

 

I added Wevos, basically the same as RSS semi-solids, and love the added noise and vibration, plus the improved sense of solidity. I later put in a Function First transmission insert and am considering Numeric shifter cables to bring even more rawness in.

 

I received my gt2 mounts today. Externally no different than the TT mounts, but they were double the price for whatever reason. I will let you guys know how they behave once the car is up and running.

 

move the bolt around by hand and see how much resistance you have vs original ones, although original ones are likely worn and soft

 

I have RSS mounts and really don't notice any vibrations at all. Definitely stiffer when accelerating but should not vibrate the car enough to remove them

 

yeah would be interested in the comparison between the Turbo and GT2 mounts as well. I put new Turbo mounts ~ 10k miles ago...this winter I'll probably check on them since I'm at much higher torque than stock. I can tell you I know for sure the engine has lowered down some during that time based on the position of my exhaust tips. I don't think they are failed or anything but they are being worked lol.

 

Those were my thoughts exactly. I was going to just replace stock ones and bumped into this GT2 part number. I figure lets go with the Porsche part that was designed to withstand the most hp/torque and has a stock fit.

 

yeah we are in alignment. I know other members have had success with the aftermarket ones as well. Just trying to understand all my options if I need a change. Appreciate you posting this info. I guess if I do swap I would be trying to get away with the softest ones I can to keep the vib down as little possible. Its a street car, I can push on the mounts since its not under hard accel often

 

Not sure, it was on my 07 with 15,000 miles. I felt they were awful. Maybe a bad set.

 

Hmmm. I know solid mounts will rattle your teeth. RSS and Wevo are semi solid which IMO Is much better than the OEM it came with. But everyone has certain tastes I guess. Some hates the look of a slightly lowered car but personally I like them.

 

This is the best solution IMO without going too crazy

Torque solutions semi-solid engine mounts here.. Just loved how the car feels more connected
I didn't notice any rise of vibration...

 

What kind of mileage are you guys seeing on the stock mounts, I have 78K with stock don't see any exhaust droop associated with bad mounts.

 

My car was at 93k miles and my passenger seat wobble at the stop light was unbearable even though there was no droop in exhaust that was noticeable.

 

I replaced my originals at 80k miles. The droop wasn't noticeable (though the replacements did raise the exhaust by maybe 1/4") and there were no obvious signs that they were bad (vibrations, noises, etc.), but the engine did seem to shift its weight around in the back more than I'd like. Nothing disconcerting, but just a bit floaty.

I have them on my desk and they look fine externally, maybe slightly more rubber showing than new, but it's pretty easy to flex the mounting bolt by hand so I can only imagine what a 480lb-ft engine was doing to them.
