Bad "d" key before. Looking forward anxiously to the update as my car will be going in for work in about a week and this is one of the options.

- what i do not want to do with this car is make it 'unstreetable"
- i have done this with a previous car and then undid a bunch of suspension stuff to return it to streetable - said car has similar 'soft' but non-stock engine mounts and it is still streetable so my hope is that they improve for the track / street guy but do not send it overboard to track only

- from my previous car i have learned it is the metal on metal suspesion stuff that is the fine line so since there is still rubber in this setup (hard but rubber) i hope it will still be good

- understand it is about a 2 hour job

- this year i plan on leaving it at engine mounts and hoosiers

- that would bring the total to:

motorsport r&p
guard LSD
gt2 rear sway
RS flywheel
RS rear wing
996 clubsport seats
Safety Devices half cage
too many sets of Volks

- if the wevos and hoosiers don't so it, the only thing left is Motons and slicks

I use the Wevo mounts in my 73 911 track car and they are great (much better noise insulation than my former solid mounts).

Semi-solid mounts- no difference in streetability. Afraid to say dont feel ne difference at the track at all either. With respect to engine mounts it's either all in(solid) or none. Mike
