Default Replacing motor mounts?

97 C4S - motor mounts are 25 years old, so I am considering replacing them

OEM Porsche mounts are $637 each (ouch)

I value less vibration as a premium - are any of the non-OEM that are more cost effective worth a shot?

I run these: https://www.rennline.com/Rennline-Tu...oductinfo/M18/

I noticed no difference in vibration over stock C4 mounts. C2 mounts are a bit more forgiving than C4, I believe. I can't speak to the difference between these and C2 mounts.

I’ve swapped out original mounts for Porsche RS mounts on 2 993s. Felt no additional harshness or vibration. I think they’re less than 400 for complete kit.

I replaced with Uro

964-375-043-81

RS mounts for a cheap, fast fix and then went back to current very-expensive fluid damper Porsche part

965-375-050-00

Very little difference with PSS10s and 18" wheels, I'd say a little quieter with the windows up so if you're searching for GT luxe touring then yes, absolutely. For canyon carving, cash is better spent elsewhere IMHO.
The biggest improvement is from getting rid of bad engine mounts.

A Manufacturer of 993 Suspension & exhaust replacement parts.
Parts made by these folks are available through Import Warehouse Distributors at a significantly lower price than the dealer part and appear to be functionally identical, I wouldn't be surprised that Service New Parts from the dealer are made by these folks. Their products can be sourced from multiple suppliers including eBay for some parts.

CRW, where are you getting your pricing?

FVD has them for $250 ( not sure of brand)
https://www.fvd.net/us-en/9933750490...t-996-gt2.html

Delaware for $472
https://www.delawareporscheparts.com...or-99337504909

Price definitely has crept up on them , they were around $220 from Delaware Porsche last December.

Sunset has them for $454, but that is a 25% price hike since I bought mine in November 2020

According to JasonAndreas, Rein/Corteco is the OE supplier for Porsche (post #34). https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...rmarket-3.html

The fitment guide on FCP says that Rein/Corteco fits all 993s and 996s. You can find the same mount at Rockauto and Amazon for <$100/mount. Look up AVE0382P. I believe C2 and C4 originally used a fluid filled mount, which many Rennlist posters have claimed leak.

I replaced with OE RS mounts, cheaper too. No noticeable extra NVH to me. Though I did it same time as Fister II, KW v3.
