Also like wasz I fitted a new standard gearbox bush when I had my box rebuilt last winter.

I think most people would notice a big difference with std new engine mounts as you don't often replace until they are worn.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Looking to replace my engine mounts on my 996 4s.
Which mounts would you guys recommend for street use and from where?
Shall i go for aftermarket from design91 or OEM PORSCHE
I went with the rennline tuneable ones from design 911. Really happy, big improvement, although mine were probably way past their best, and a slight increase in nvh but not too obtrusive at all
Get the rs engine mount kit from Matt at type 911 in south London
£125 well spent and much cheaper than rss and does the same job
Transformed my c2 as the oem mounts were shot. Handles really well now and back feels really connected and planted
I fitted the 964rs type mounts also from Type911. They do the complete kit including washers and extra long bolts to fit the 996 C4s. Think it was £160 delivered. Best money I've spent so far. As said they make a big difference in handling and also gear change.
seconded. I was in the area and picked mine up and got a great deal for cash.
they are firmer than OEM but not as hard as say an RSS semi solid.
no extra NVH in the cabin but really sorts out the rear and handling and putting the power down. money well spent!!
here is the link:
https://type911shop.co.uk/epages/de...ca1-377e-432e-84fd-bdccf2206766/Products/8447
make sure you ask for 996 fitment and longer bolts
I bought standard mounts from rockauto.com
I think they were £60 each, and had Porsche logos and part numbers on them - genuine.
Figured Porsche spent a lot developing the car, the new ones made my engine hang higher and the car felt much more planted on acceleration and through the corners.
Don't forget to do the bush at the front end of the gear box that the whole lot hangs off too. If the rears are worn out the front one will be too.
I did mine while the gearbox was off, not sure you can get it in situ.
absolutely wasz new oem mounts are going to feel great too and transform the car.
i just wanted sth a bit more firmer and the 993 RS kit seemed to have great reviews so each to their own.
at the same time I changed the gearbox mount too as well as putting in the powerflex uprated insert to firm things up. the gear change is transformed as a result.
interesting that REIN has the Porsche stamp on it. Pelican parts list them as a OEM supplier, but there is nothing on thr REIN website to suggest that - so may Porsche don't allow it. I need a set and like you I want to stick with the original for the reason you pointed out, so I think I'll go with the Rein.
Thanks for this info Wasz :thumbs:
Same as wasz for me too.
I purchased Rein ones from Pelican parts when I was in Florida. £60 each.
Also like wasz I fitted a new standard gearbox bush when I had my box rebuilt last winter. £20.
I don't mess with certain things and I've driven cars with a few combinations and types of mounts. I want standard rubber bushings on a road car, simples.
And don't get me started on those bloody insert things. :grin:
Awful, just awful. :nooo:
I have to admit I wasn't taken to the gearbox insert when I had it done but Ive either gotten used to it or its "settled". tempted to take it out to see how much of a difference it makes now Im used to it.
I think most people would notice a big difference with std new engine mounts as you don't often replace until they are worn. Im torn which way to go as I don't like too much engine NVH so might just go the std route as well.
I was doing some further reading up on Rein Engine mounts that Pelican Parts sell. I have posted the link below, but the short story is that Corteco manufacturer the engine mounts for Porsche. REIN is not a manufacturer, it is a parts distributer and it buys the mounts from Corteco and puts them in a REIN box. The thread below is from 2013, so I am going to email Pelican to see if the part in the REIN box in 2018 is still the OEM part.
