Default Motor mounts - Best bang for the buck?

At 90k miles, I find myself doing some other work and needed to remove my old mounts. I noted they look a little worn so I thought now is a good time to replace them. I'm wondering if I should go with the OEM mounts or consider something else. I've seen a lot of choices but have no idea what the right one is for me. I'd been happy with the stock mounts but purchased the car with 68k miles so don't really know what I may be missing. I'm a moderate to aggressive driver but don't need or want to go all out race equipped. Also don't want to go overboard $$$. Your input please...

I just did mine at 146k............... I am not sure, if there is a difference, I would be able to notice it.

An oil and filter change is way less $ (DIY) and that makes a BIG difference, to me.

Schnell, plus the cost of the new mounts............

I am not into modifying (on my own) a design that worked fine for 146k and 18 years.......... Porsche OEM is fine with me.

Unless it's a dedicated track car, oem mounts are fine, the rein brand (oem supplier) are the ones i have. Work like they should.

Function First V2 mounts. Stock mounts with polyurethane injected in the bottom for a bit more stiffness and longevity.

Your mounts are good or failed. If good no need to replace them.

I put in Rein mounts to replace my worn mounts. I honestly didn't feel a lot of difference, if any. I'm considering an upgrade now.
