I have also heard that they are super nice - coincedentally, they are being awarded as a year-end prize for the 944 Drivers' Cup - <a href="http://www.944driverscup.com" target="_blank">www.944driverscup.com</a>

Question

Lindsey Racing seems to sell these mounts for $125 each. They call them super mounts. <a href="http://www.lindseyracing.com/944eng3.htm" target="_blank">Take a look.</a>
Has anyone installed these?

I wish I had know about these before I installed my motor mounts. I just installed some new ones yesterday, It would have been nice to try these fancy ones out. Either way, having new motor mounts is very nice

thanks for posting this.. sounds like a super idea.

<a href="http://www.gprparts.com/supermount/supermount.htm?cookieID=0OX187LB4&clientid=gprparts.com" target="_blank">http://www.gprparts.com/supermount/supermount.htm?cookieID=0OX187LB4&clientid=gprparts.com</a>

Introducing the Supermount. This new Porsche motor mount system is available for the Porsche 924S, 944, 944S, 944S2, 944 Turbo and 968 automobiles. This is not a solid motor mount; it is a high performance street mount made for all types of driving including race applications. This patent pending design is vastly superior, in terms of longevity and quality to the OEM stock motor mounts found on these cars today. Porsche has yet to solve the engine mounting problems that have plagued these cars for two decades. Finally, the Supermount is your permanent solution. This motor mount system comes with a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser covering materials and workmanship.
Retail Price $249 Wholesale price available Call Dave @ 800-321 5432 x 502 or email your requests
ON SALE FOR ONLY $225.00

Part Number Description Price Details
SM944 motor mount for 924S, 944, 944S, 944S2, 944 Turbo and 968 $225.00

hmm they're actually selling them for a higher price than what's on their website? It would make a hell of a lot more sense for them to at least sell a couple for a bit less...

Talking

well, they sure are purty! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> If function follows form I think they could be a winner. I think feedback from users will tell if these are more than a pretty face.

**** those look cool. I'd hate to buy a set and shake all the teeth outta my mouth once they're installed, though...

How about RED anodized.... They look very nice- and I'm due for new mounts this year- these would be a great upgrade.. I'd love to hear from someone running with them.
