Mr Brennan advised me I’ll need new engine mounts at the next service and wondering what the brainstrust think about what I replace the OEMs with.

Suggestion · Original poster
If I did go semi solids they'd be the softest setting, my weekend driving is "spirited".

Suggestion
OEM I would think given your intended use Dave, semi solids are reported to transfer more vibration and engine noise to the cabin.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Mr Brennan advised me I’ll need new engine mounts at the next service and wondering what the brainstrust think about what I replace the OEMs with.
Driving is weekend driving only and if I did track work it’d be rare, so I’m not after track taughtness.
Should I stick with OEM or a semi-solid set up? Keen to hear about what others have done and thoughts on the differences and changes in feel etc
OEM I would think given your intended use Dave, semi solids are reported to transfer more vibration and engine noise to the cabin. I'd take David's recommendation...
^^^^ as THT says ^^^

It seems you pay a lot of $$ for just rubber block mounts....
If I did go semi solids they'd be the softest setting, my weekend driving is "spirited". Mr Brennan is fitting some new rollers soon so I'll ask what he thinks.
Did you look at the rennline ones? I have seen a couple of YouTube vids and they'd be what I was thinking of getting
Check out Prekom in Slovenia. Great prices and excellent products. Reportedly they supply the Rennline ones, which are then marked up. They have various shore rubber ones from OEM to much harder. I got some for my motor and tranny on the 3.2. Excellent quality.
I did see a brand called Function First which take an OEM mount and then add bushing in the void (?) to give the (supposed) best of both worlds. A few nice comments on forums about them too.
Tried them in my 993 and pulled them out after one drive, added too much NVH for my liking, with zero noticeable benefit ,if you wear your baseball cap backwards you might think they are fully sick
I have genuine 964 RS mounts (semi solid) in my 996 - highly recommended if you do any SMT like driving. I haven't found any added NHV. If you just do regular driving I would stick with OEM
