I'm planning to exchange the engine mounts on my stock '99 C2. I'm leaning toward a semi solid set up and am considering the OEM RS mounts (which my son has on his 964) as well as the Wevo mounts.

Does anyone here have experience with either the RS or the Wevo mounts?

Thanks!

Yes. There are a number of Wevo reviews here; I think I might have posted one when I dropped them into my car.

*edit* Here's my thread with add'l info: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...n-finally.html

I think they're awesome...

I have the wevos , I like them .

I installed Wevo yellows on my 996 C4S. They were a very nice upgrade.

Only stock mounts for me... Your knock sensors, and ignition timing will thank you.

Interesting, this was on my wish list but maybe not then...

JMHO, but there are no knock-sensor issues with using Wevo mounts or even Motorsport solid ones. Those sensors are piezoelectric microphones and tuned to pick up vibrations from the cylinder assemblies, only.

If someone is experiencing a power loss issue, there are plenty of places to look at besides this one that will yield the source of the problem,....

Thanks everyone! Based on the replies from 5CH3LL, Vancouver996 and Dennis C. I've decided to go with the Wevo's.

Jake....can you provide torque specs for the engine mounts? Thanks in advance!

^This is good to know...^

There is much less vibration now (with the semi-solid mounts) than with the completely shot OEM mounts they replaced.

A middle of the road compromise would be the Function First V2 "improved" stock mounts. I installed them and I like them.

Wevos are en route!

Can you elaborate some more about downsides of the semi-solid mounts?
I don't mean to force you to write if you already have a knowledge base written up/video somewhere that you can just link to.
