I started researching motor mount threads here when I recently noticed that my exhaust tip had dropped about 2.5 inches from where it should be. Upon further investigation I can see there is also a gap between the engine tin and the body seal on the passenger side as well. I'm hoping it is just the motor mounts which I can clearly see need to be replaced. I've read through a few of these posts and haven't seen anybody else post the same issue. Have other experienced this? Is it likely just the motor mounts or could there be another factor as well?

I just installed the FVD Cup motor mounts on my 90 C2 and am very happy. I was warned that they would vibrate all to hell, but at this point it is WAY smoother than the ones I took out.

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???
Any other folks have experience using the OEM 996 GT3 mounts on their 964s?
Looking at prices right now and the GT3 mounts are almost half as much as the 993 mounts, which are cheaper than the 964 mounts. From the few pictures I've found, they appear to be the same.

I ended up going with the 993 C4 mounts in my 964 C4. The 996 GT3 mounts that looked to be half the price were an old part number on Pelican Parts. The new part number are more expensive than the 993 motor mounts. Car feels great with the 993 mounts. Much smoother than the RS mounts.
