i used 996 or 997 GT3 mounts ... cheaper than the air-cooled stuff and slightly stiffer but not solid stiff
... so still nice for road use. I can recommend SD.

Hi all,
looks like my mounts are shot too. Could someone confirm that 993 Turbo mounts fit as well?
Price for standard 993 mounts seems to have skyrocketed, probably due to the increased demand as a result of this thread.
Thanks
David
Edit says: How about 996 C2 mounts? Would those fit too?

switched out the OEM 964 mounts Oct 09, got them from Sunset for $159 each. i suspect they will last quite a while. Before i bought them I asked a number of rebuilders about mounts, the responses were if you are not going to track the car dont waste the money on high speed sexy mounts. Although i have not tried solid mounts before but these do what they are suppose to do, and thats good enough for me.

Hi all,
This has got me wondering about my own mounts. I've never changed out engine mounts before. With that said, can someone spoon feed me the steps needed to make the switch? I do all my driving on the weekend and then it's only on the street (twisty mountain roads). I don't really want to have too stiff of a drive, so I'll probably go with stock 993 mounts.
Anyhow, I'd appreciate it if anyone could post some step by step instructions to making this switch.
TIA,
Heinz

Reviving an old thread: is the location of the motor mounts on a 964 engine the same on the 993? Said another way, are motor mount locations on the body and engine are the same on 964 & 993 engine and body?

I used aftermarket 993 from FCP euro who have a lifetime replacement policy that they actually stand behind even for wear parts. Mostly I'd never actually use it but for ez-swap high dollar parts like this, it made sense for me. Bolt on swap. Been there for a year and a half and seem happy.

So - I'm interested in replacing the mounts on my '90 964 and this seems to present a viable option. I looked at the FCP website above and noticed that part fits all 993 and 996 models EXCEPT it's not listed for the GT3. I guess it could be an oversight. More interesting is the factory GT3 mount is cheaper than the other 996 motor mounts (less than $200 each). NOW - what about using a factory GT3 motor mount on my 964???
