I tried ordering the RSS mounts last month and never heard anything from them except for the automated email confirmation after leaving messages and emails asking for the status of my order. I will be ordering the RS Style mount from Porsche. Note that they did not ever charge my card. My guess is they may have gone out of business.

I've had RSS Tarmac Series semi-solid mounts for about 18 months and I like them a lot. A subtle but welcome change in shifting and handling. Makes the car feel new again.

Road Sport Supply seems like a thriving company; I'd be surprised if they went out of business. Can anyone confirm that?

I replaced the original mounts about 8 months ago and the left side tip stayed the same....about an inch below the right side...think the dealer did something wrong?

Noise vibration & harshness. Basically, the opposite of what a BMW 750i driver expects.

The smaller bolts on the top are 23 lb-feet; the bottom is 63 lb-ft.

I am sure you checked this, but when my buddy and I did mine we realized that one side was not matched up perfect with the square cutout in the body. After a little adjustment it was perfect and now my exhaust tips are right up in the bumper. I have seen other similar errors on other forums, so it can definitely happen!

Thanks 5CHN3LL! Ordered a set from Pelican this morning. My Fister D mufflers are arriving next week. I plan to order a GT2 Shifter and have some fun installing everything next weekend.
