Just wanted to share, I snapped a pic of the motor mounts side by side to see the difference. Not sure how long the old ones have been on the car for, this is at 80k miles

 

Neat, if only other things grew longer with use...

Installing a set of rss tar macs myself this weekend. Is the install really as easy as they say?

 

������ thats funny.
Install is easy. 1/2 hour. Spray down the main bolts overnight to break the corrosion down and your done.

 

I did my spark plugs and AOS at the same time so there was plenty of extra work but as far as the mounts go yes they are very easy...I didnt even spray my bolts down they came off with no problem.

Put a jack under the motor to hold it in place, undo the bottom bolt from each mount and then the two from the top and they come out with no issues. Intake and rear bumper need to be removed also

 

I didn't have to remove the rear bumper on mine to do it. There was plenty of room there once you get rid of the air intake.

 

80k on these as well. Looking forward to trying out the new ones.

 

Maybe not, mine was already off. Regardless, Time4PORSCHE, just close your eyes and do it.

 

I will be doing mines in the near future. Those rennline ones are quite pretty...

 

I'm waiting for mine from Rennline to ship. Apparently there was a 2 week backorder when I ordered them. I did get 10% off from Pelican which was cool....

 

What made you go with the RL over the Wevo mounts?

 

A little cheaper ($350 for pair) and I liked the adjustability. They come with street, sport and race bushings. I'm starting with the race ones and then will back off if the vibration is too much.

 

Go to the gym around water aerobics time when the grannies are heading to the pool - there are definitely some things that get longer with time/use...

 

Ordered a set of Rein OEM mounts for $80 each and will be installing soon. My original ones have 61k on them.

 

Just a note. If you are putting a jack under the motor (oil pan) to support it use a piece of 2x12 on top of the jack to spread the load.

 

I thought the recommendation was to jack up the car using the flat area close to the transmission, not the oil pan?

In any case I still used a 2x4 when I did it too as I didn't want metal on metal in this case.
