Why are tips so low?
#6
FYI, I had a similar problem on my 996 C4S. I replaced the worn stock mounts with Wevo semi-solid mounts (yellows). It made a tremendous difference in the car. Not only did it raise the tips back up to the proper position, but it improved the handling of the car and the shifting action. I highly recommend this upgrade. You'll feel a big difference just replacing worn OE mounts with new OE mounts.

While it is possible to pivot them way down like that, I assume they weren't like that before. I agree that they are almost certainly indicating the need for new motor mounts. If you watch from behind while revving the engine you'd probably see them twist up and down a lot from the engine torque. If so, you should replace them before the engine drops down on one or both sides and possibly damages something. I had to replace mine at around 42k miles. Mine had one side drooping more than the other though.
