RS engine mounts + hardware
I have a little play in the stock engine mounts (not huge, but the bolt will 'wiggle' by hand easily enough) and with everything removed from the bottom of the engine and rear of the car now would be an opportune time to replace them.
Quality oem versions of the 964 RS mount are readily available (compared to the price of something like the Rennline mounts, or solid mounts - which I do not want). But I understand we need a longer bolt is needed for the turbo mounting cradle compared to the C2. Anyone know the sizes or if there are any other issues using 964 RS mounts over the standard turbo parts?

I installed a pair of RS mounts in 2014 when I did my engine-out reseal and cam replacement.
I really like them. The rear end of the car tracks better than having the engine slosh around, not following the chassis into a turn.
You will either need to find inch longer bolts or mod the engine beam to use the bolts that are supplied with the mounts.

I used 12mm x 105mm Bolts. All good for now.

The Rennline adjustable mounts for the 964 turbo seem like the least expensive option I've seen -- $249 for the pair

Thanks folks. I've just ordered a pair of 964/993 RS mounts (aftermarket versions) from Type 911 (https://type911shop.co.uk/964-/-993-...et-Aftermarket) - after speaking to the owner they stated that the bolts they supply are long enough for the 964 Turbo and that they've sold several sets to other owners wanting to do exactly the same thing.
The tuneable Rennline mounts are nice, but current exchange rates/import fees put them closer to £400 for the pair from UK suppliers
