Default 993 motor mount

hello guys been a while.getting ready to park the car for winter and get on with some more maintence.got the valve cover gasket kit coming so i can replace but i also want to change out my motor mounts.After reading on here that you can use the 993 mounts can someone supply the p/n for the 993 mounts that would be used for an 1989 c4 . Also anyone installed them that might want to offer feed back as for install and impressions for street driving? any changes need to be made for install or get any different hardware also?

I installed 993 C4 motor mounts last year on my 90 C2. No issues and they are a direct bolt in:

New motor mounts are a great upgrade. For a little more money, you could buy adjustable and repairable motor mounts from Wevo.

911Jetta, what benefit do they bring and can they be fitted with the engine in place?

Billy,
If your motor mounts are sagging, you can expect:
The car will have an improved solid, direct feel.
+ stability tight corners (engine isn't flopping around as you set up for a turn)
Improved gear shifting feel
A little more cabin roar.

Can be install one side at a time with a floorjack.

Here's a thread I created when I installed mine:
Wevo m.m. installed - impressions

Best,
Udo

What's the advantage of going with the "RS" mounts? Do you have a part number for these?

The car is primarily a track car, so it is closer to a solid mount with less play than the street versions.

I would advise going with the RS mounts. The RS mounts will be stiffer and have less give then the stock mounts allowing for less flex over bumps, cornering will seem more composed, and overall handling will improve. They kit we offer includes two mounts, and all bolts, washers, and nuts needed for the conversion. To view the kit Click Here.

I don't particularly notice the engine moving around but sometimes these things are only obvious once you've fixed them. What do you look for visually to tell? A couple of photos of my mounts are below.





I've just noticed the lefthand one is cracked, which is probably one of the signs!

And I hadn't realised how dirty it was in my engine bay!
