Well said.

Also IIRC some feel that if going with Wevos on a non-turbo you should consider reinforcing the carrier using the Rennline kit as they are stiffer than the RS mounts.

Yes, but 303 came in second to Simichrome on crackers in a recent taste test.

With the Wevo's all you have to do is buy a couple of new urethane dampeners, which IIRC is twenty bucks. And you have two variants of stiffness to choose from in the form of blue or black pillows. Click the link above. No affiliation, just a satisfied customer.
Thank you Noah, I obviously must do more research on this. I kind of have my hands full right now tho.

The only issue I have is that I have a minor rattle in the rear shelf of my car that is now magnified by the WEVO mounts when engaging the clutch. Since I daily drive my car, it kind of sucks. The upside is that the mounts result in a very slight change in engine growl heard in the car that is really nice. The factory mounts were too quiet.

Bob -

I might consider a trade if you are thinking that WEVO would suit you better.

Hi David, Please allow me some time to do a little research while I consider your offer.

Thank you.

Those are custom environmental condition sensors. If they detect a presence of more than .001 microns of dust in the engine bay the boot pops open and the area is flooded with 303 Aerospace Protectant from nozzles protruding from the garage ceiling.

No problem. I'm in no rush, just thought a trade might work for both of us depending on what you are looking for. Feel free to PM me and I'd be happy to share my experience with the WEVO's or we can chat on the phone as well.

Good Luck!

Keep your RS mounts. There is next to no difference in the ride between the Wevo's and the RS mounts.

Here is a thread that I posted some time ago that you may find interesting:
