They are a polyurethane filled OEM style mount that appear well made, but I haven�t used them yet so I can�t give direct feedback on them.

Last summer I installed these Rohler semi solid engine mounts on a place of bad originals to my 2001 996 with manual and M030 suspension.

When my engine was rebuilt we replaced the motor mounts and I�m pretty sure we went with the 997 mounts.

OEM is recommended because solid or semi-solid engine mounts wreak havoc with the engine knock sensors.

While owning the car for a little over a year, nearly 90% of its life with me has been on a QJ or something doing restore & repair tasks.

I will say I have been running the semisolid/polyurethane type mounts for the past ten years and 130K miles with no problems or what I would personally call ill effects.
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.

I was hoping someone could give some suggestions about engine mounts. I tried purchasing a pair of Rein through Pelican Parts but got a message stating they were out of stock. Additionally, PP automatically sent a set of Aftermarket Bapmics which I quickly rejected. Now I am looking into a brand called Function First. Has anyone had experience with their modified mounts? TIA
Wow, this is awful. Not sure what's going on. You can get the Porsche branded product here:
Porsche Engine Mount Kit - Genuine Porsche 996ENGMTKT | FCP Euro
But it's $1000!
I have a set of the function first engine mounts on the shelf for �someday�. They are a polyurethane filled OEM style mount that appear well made, but I haven�t used them yet so I can�t give direct feedback on them. I will say I have been running the semisolid/polyurethane type mounts for the past ten years and 130K miles with no problems or what I would personally call ill effects.
The other Function First products (mostly shifter related) are well regarded, and I think they are a forum sponsor as well.
There is a huge motor mount thread around here somewhere.
When my engine was rebuilt we replaced the motor mounts and I�m pretty sure we went with the 997 mounts.
Slakker did the rebuild and honestly not sure exactly why they went with the 997 mounts but I trust them.
Maybe someone on here could explain if there�s really a difference. Also, maybe a 997 mount opens up your options and makes it easier to find.
Hope that helps.
OEM is recommended because solid or semi-solid engine mounts wreak havoc with the engine knock sensors. Why not try AutoAtlanta -

They can be but don't have to be.
I've had them for several years now with zero issues on stock and now built motor. Slakker didn't have a problem with them being there. They are a perfect balance / middle ground between stock and some stiffer aftermarket stuff. Proceed as you wish but some OEM pricing is definitely LOL/WUT?/WTF/GTFO these days. I guess Porsche is trying to close the gap on crappy sales numbers with $800 plastic front lips and $1000 engine mounts
Last summer I installed these Rohler semi solid engine mounts on a place of bad originals to my 2001 996 with manual and M030 suspension. So far I have been very happy with these. Car is 50% street and 50% track use with also polyurethan transmision bushing insert. Still no vibrations to mention of:

I got a set of Uro mounts and loaded them with polyurethane (3M window weld equivalent) as a budget firmer mount. My thinking was the Uro mounts should be plenty durable with that much reinforcement, and if they were too stiff it would still be a cheap experiment.
Haven�t put them in yet.
I added the 3M window weld stuff and had these new mounts in with new engine. I do not remember the brand of mount, but it wasn't URO. I don't have the car back yet so I can't say what it "feels" like.
While owning the car for a little over a year, nearly 90% of its life with me has been on a QJ or something doing restore & repair tasks. Heck, I haven't had the car for 4 months so I almost forget what it is like anyway. I may get it back next week so I'll letchano.
YMMV
When I was looking for my mounts I contacted German Auto Parts and asked about their listing. If I remember correctly, he was able to determine from the part number that it was a Rein produced mount but sold under a different name brand. I however ended up finding a Rein mount elsewhere but that site now says its on back order again.
