The images in the pelican parts link, shows the floor jack under the engine, but unfortunately the engine in the pic is not the same as the 996TT. They are using the oil change plate as the jacking point, which the 996tt does not have, but aircooled did.
Lifting my the motor is a moot discussion IMO. Because the proper lift point at the chassis cross brace is only a couple inches ahead of that. Why lift by the motor when you can lift by the cross brace?
• The RSS Tarmac Series Performance Engine Mounts are designed for the Porsche driver who demands the absolute maximum in precision handling, feedback and control from their chassis.
• With factory hydraulic engine mounts, the drivetrain will move independent of the chassis during acceleration, deceleration and cornering loads. This movement can upset the balance of the vehicle and create negative handling effects.
• Our performance engine mounts minimize these effects by utilizing specialized polyurethane bushings which offer a firmer, more direct driving feel with optimum feedback.
• This upgrade will NOT adversely effect ride quality or cause knock sensor issues commonly associated with solid engine mounts.
• AVAILABLE FOR ALL 996 & 997 MODEL VARIANTS INCLUDING TURBO, GT2, GT2RS, GT3 & GT3RS
No problem at all. I think I will go for either the performance inserts or the 997 stock mounts (leaning more towards the 997 mounts as this is my street car) To me the NVH is actually better in my opinion than OEM. I had a weird vibration that would shake the passenger seat when idling on the stock mounts some times. With the RSS mounts its gone. I am so used to my GTI with the 034 Motorsports Track density mounts that the RSS feel tame (even though they give all the needed feedback with no real NVH disadvantage). Those 034 Mounts stiffened up the car so much that it sounds like I have a straight cut gear dog box in the car!!! It honestly sounds like a rally car inside (its pretty amazing). It pretty much feels like the engine is welded to the car lol.<br /><br />Thanks again RSS for such a beautiful, functional, and cost effective upgrade.
Thanks for your feedback, glad your happy with the RSS 624 Engine Mounts. Some folks are more sensitive to the performance upgrade than others.
Anyone use rennline tunable mounts? Seems like a great mount with the opportunity to tailor and change mount stiffness to personal liking or use? Not a lot of feedback on these.
Specifically, I'm wondering if the street pillows would make this mount software than the Wevo's.

Looking into that. Wonder what the shop manual says.
