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

Never heard of them. I’ve heard of Rein and Corteco.

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.
