I don't know about the 993 mounts, but 996 mounts seem to run between US $150 and $400 per pair online.

Suggestion
They're beefier than your 996 mounts, but not so stiff as to set off the knock sensors.

From reading various forums there is an option of using 993 RS mount, is this a better option rather than just using 996's ones again?
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.

Just had my major servicing and spark plugs done, at a very reasonable cost of NZ $400, that's about US $300 because I supplied the oil, filter, and spark plugs myself. Didn't get pollen and belt replaced because they were done last year.
The dealer said that my motor mounts starting to split, and quoted NZ$1000 plus tax.

An online shop in the UK shows 93 quid for one mount.
From what I've read, motor mounts are an easy DIY project. I don't know about the 993 mounts, but 996 mounts seem to run between US $150 and $400 per pair online. Your dealer's quote seems very high.
Just be aware that the RS mount will bring more vibration into the cabin.
RS Engine Mounts
Replaces the standard hydro-elastic rubber mounts with
a stiffer version
. A simple installation using Genuine Porsche Parts. This upgrade is known to improve shift response and improve handling,
perfect for racing
and higher-tuned applications.
Fits 2001-2009 Turbo and Carrera (911) models.
Another less expensive option is to install the 996 TTmounts. They're beefier than your 996 mounts, but not so stiff as to set off the knock sensors. I run them in my race car....
Wevo's are great but overkill for a street car w/tiptronic. Save yyour money for more important stuff. I got my TT mounts from a dismantler and I've raced on them fairly sucessfully for 2 years now....
