Default VNE Brand Engine Mounts vs OEM

Has anyone purchased and installed a pair of VNE Brand Engine mounts? The price difference is nearly $200 ($480 at Suncoast vs $295 for VNE at FCP Euro). I have used Rein branded OEM replacements on a 996 in the past and it seemed fine but they don't exist for a 997.

No experience with VNE. I did find a pair of Reins on EBay for 249 delivered for my 08 4S. Seller was partsimport. I did fill the void in the rubber with Locktite polyurethane sealant to stiffen them up a bit. A fairly common upgrade. Easy install and big difference all around

I can find Reins for 996…but not seeing them for 997. I don’t know what the part number is so it is difficult to hunt them down.

Never heard of them. I’ve heard of Rein and Corteco.
Part #997-375-049-08

Check out RockAuto... they do have them for much less. 996 / 7 mounts should be the same. I've installed 964 RS mounts on my 997.2 ! Wanted to try it , and price was $150 all in, including Porsche hardware.

Thanks for the input! I checked rockauto and they have been out of stock for a long time.

I gave up and ordered from the dealer.
