Semi solid engine mounts.
- Thread starter Jimmyfish
- Start date
Hi Jimmy , welcome to the forum. the options for me would be
Rennline adjustable semi solids, I used these on my gen 1 and was happy on the yellow bush which is the softest. mininal NVH
RSS semi solid engine mounts ,I have these on my gen2 and IMO they are perfect with minimal NVH.
Function first semi semi solid engine mounts , I fitted these to my gen2 and removed them very quickly as too much NVH
Porsche 993RS OE engine mounts , not tried but hear excellent things about these fitted to the 997 with longer bolts.
WEVO not tested no info.
best do a bit of research decide which you want then look for the best price , should you go to Design911 forum members get a 5% discount. :thumb:

Hi Jimmy,
+1 for the RSS, I fitted these to my Gen 1 over a year ago. I'd say one of the best and easiest mods I've ever done, gear shift feels a lot more positive and the car just feels tighter. Got mine from D911 with discount.
I also got the gearbox mount insert at the same time but not got round to fitting yet (job for this winter with a few more mods), guess all the play was in the old original engine mounts.
cheers
Tony.

Another vote for the RSS mounts from me. An added bonus I found was the engine sounded more sporty! Guess its transmitting more noise into the cabin but it sounded miles better than before.

I fitted the RSS a coupe of years ago, and can only echo what others have said. A great mod and makes the car feel much less wayward at the back end.

first question what is the car used for?
mostly track then go for RSS or torque solutions.
go for the 993 RS ones if more of a road as they are not as brutal as the pure semi solid ones like RSS and bit more rubber in them. I put them in my 997 C2s and love them and no real extra NVH. back end tied in loads more and power goes down better than tired old oem mounts.
i have Torque solutions on my old 996 GT3 mk2 and they can make things harsher on the road and a lot more engine noise and vibration.
speak to Matt at Type 911 near Beckenham as he is the main man for the best price and the kit.
link here and I paid 125 cash collected.

The same 964 RS ones that D911 sell are £80 shipped (inc import duty) from rockauto.com but you will need to buy 2 longer bolts to mount them and 4 washers..

Im pretty sure you can reuse the 4 small bolts/washers that hold the mount to the body, its just the long bolts (and large penny washers) that secure the mounts to the crossmember that need to be sourced :?:
Thanks for all the advice guys.
The car is almost solely used on the road so I suppose the 993 option would probably be my best bet. I do like the RSS mounts though and I assume they would last longer than the 993 option but I don't want too much extra noise or vibration.

Jimmy , I use my car for fast road with RSS and no issues at all with NVH ,ideally you would get to a meet and try cars with both RSS and 993rs ,I must admit had I not been happy with the RSS my next option was going to be the 993RS its important to note you will need to do a good few hundred miles for them to bed in and settle so dont be 
:wall: :wall: :finger: :finger: :duh: :duh: when you first fit them and drive the car , I think most of us when first fitting semi solids were OMG what have I done :grin: but it soon settles nicely :thumb:
