At least one person on here had them. It was brought up in the middle of some random thread on motor mounts. Not sure on feedback.

Rennline seems to have done a non-existant job of marketing these.

From what I read on their site, the concept it pretty basic and similar to the Wevo mounts except that the Rennline units include assorted pillow options in the purchase price versus the Wevo mounts that you need to pick the pillows at purchase and can purchase different pillows separately (for a small price) to adjust the feel to your liking if you feel it necessary.

Do they sell a Turbo application? I'm not sure if 964 Carrera and Turbo motor mounts are interchangable.

Looks like someone on the 993 forum made a thread about them.

Hi,

I've got them (Rennline) but I haven't driven my car yet as they were fitted last week and we have one more job to complete before it's back on the road.

I'll let you know what they are like, I'm initially having them on sport setting, blue. Street is yellow and red for race. I may have to go to yellow but we'll see how they perform first.



Cheers,
Paul

I installed it on my 993, i set the yellow pillows for street use. Even my 993 is tiptronic , i feel gear change much smooth than stock engine mount. May be less engine movement . By the way , it come with longer bolt for turbo car.

Any increase in engine noise in the cabin? (I know... who cares)

I just installed these a week ago (the yellow street bushings). I immediately noticed that at idle the car vibrated less. Reving from 1500 to 3000 causes a noticible vibration and some rattling from the exhaust and some interior parts like the seatbelt mount. I was a bit concerned since the vibration was much more noticeable than I expected so I reinstalled them making sure the engine was sitting right.

I drove the car more today (3rd day since install) and either I'm getting used to it or it's slightly less harsh now.

I suspect the added harshness is to be expected though it IS noticicable and there is no denying it. I'll keep you all up to date if it changes.

Default Great product

I installed the Rennline mounts in my 993 (sold now). I used the sport setting. They really improved the feel of the car. They are pleasing to look at too! They are up there in price, but having just installed the RS semi soft mounts in my 964 I am regretting the decision. Cheap became expensive. Once you buy all the fittings for the RS mounts, they don’t work out much less than the Rennline price. Working on convincing myself to go back to Rennline

Nope, "maybe" very slight NVH through the seat, but nothing like you describe.

I'm using a blue ones and I noticed some extra noise in motor. Exhaust rattles increase a bit as well. However, with these KM's what I made per year, those are acceptably.

My original mounts were totally shot so when I put the Rennline mounts blue pillows it made mine vibrate and rattle less👍
