Default New 951 Motor Mounts - What a noticeable difference they make!

I finally replaced the motor mounts on my 86 951 - It made such an improvement in the overall ride feel of the car that I still can't believe it. I should have done this years ago. It feels like a new car...... Super smooth.

I got mine done in the summer on the 924S after driving it for 4 months or so with bad mounts after purchase. It makes an unbelievable difference. The car feels brand new. I don't care how much it costs, how many times you gotta do it even if it's once every couple years. It's worth it. I had the biggest grin on my face when I got mine done.

Where do you get the Rein from?

Was it a pretty easy job to do?

I went with the O.E.M. Porsche mounts from 944online as they included all the new mounting hardware with the mounts.

I think its time to do this in Spring 2015.
As of now looks like OEM may be the way to go.

Thanks!

I would buy them from Sunset Porsche.

They are a LOT less than the other place mentioned.
