Rss engine mounts impressions
I would like to say thanks to all that wrote up "How To's" and for those that gave detailed advice on how to install the RSS's! I couldn't believe that something was actually so easy and straight forward to do on a 911!! I am not mechanically inclined nor do I have the patience, so I was surprised that the part I thought would be hard (the bottom bolts) were right in your face unobstructed when you got under the car! I was waiting for something to "get" me in the install, like you had to go around a maze to get to bolt or something, but none!
The first thing I noticed was that these motor mounts are a work of art like my other RSS pieces. Smooth edges, great finish and fit like a glove! It went in with NO MODIFICATIONS as I have read others had to do on the 964RS, WEVO and the solid mounts.
When I fired her up there was a VERY,VERY,VERY small vibration under idle, but most would not even notice it, but give it to my audiophile ears to hear it. The car felt no different under any other throttle input coming to any noise or vibration.
That is where the similarities end! How can a small AFFORDABLE part make such an impact (as in good) in the overall precision of this car! I didn't even push the car being it was late when I finished the install, so I am just talking about casual, light spirited driving and figure these benefits will heighten as you push the car.
My gears even under REGULAR driving seam to be clicking in gear easer and feel more directly connected to the gear box. Directional change feels like the front wheels and the rears are in a slot in the road. Turn in is crisper as I feel the rear now are not just reacting, but already knows what the front wheels are doing directional wise. If I throw the car in a turn the breaking loose or the "sliding" of the rear tires are so predictable and liner now. The car is just more precises in all that it does now.
I purchased this machine a year ago and even though there has been much money put toward getting it where it is, I absolutely do not regret my decision to get a 911T & build a balanced machine! These machines when done right are such an overall world class performer from looks, handling, braking, usable/street able power, balance and can run with the best of cars out there!
I have 997 tranny mounts on the way now and am excited to feel the overall difference!
Thanks

What they do is control the motor movement better. You don't get as much lateral or longitudinal torquing of the motor under stress. This translates to more precise handling, better power transfer to the wheels, and crisper shifting since the shift cables stay straighter.
At least that's my take on it.

Great review,
can you let me know where you purchased your Rs mounts and how much you paid for them.
Thanks in advance.
