Default WEVO motor mounts

Black or blue pillows? Leaning towards the blacks.
Looking for opinions....

Blue. That's what I have on my 911.

Given your avatar, I'd say blue.

From Wevo:
“Black” Pillows are 15 points softer on the Shore “A” scale for durometer readings than the original "Blue" Pillows. The Black pillows function in the same way as the Blue pillows – although they allow slightly more deflection under similar loads – the advantage is lower noise transfer through the SS mount module.
I don't know how to quantify 15 points harder/softer on the Shore "A" scale for durometer readings?

I had sagging stock mounts. Replaced them with Wevo MM with black pillows... wow, really tightened up the car. The new mounts also make on/off throttle transitions much more direct... instead of the engine flopping around. Black pillows are completely streetable (though a bit louder in the cabin), but if I had a more track-focused car I would buy the blue pillows.

This is worth considering: (from Wevo)
Blue and Black pillows can be mixed in any combination – including mixing them within a single mount body.

I went with black wevo mounts. The interior sound changed somewhat, but I would say it is different rather than louder. Definitely tolerable in a street car, IMO.
