RSS Tarmac Series Engine Mounts in excellent condition. As clean as new. The only marks are where the bolts tighten down on them, but of course these are covered by the bolt heads when installed. No additional hardware required, these use the same bolts as the OEM mounts.

I bought these in late January and have had them on the car for about 2000 miles. I got them to make my handling crisper for autocrossing to better compete against those pesky Caymans and their extra-sharp handling, but then I ended up not autocrossing since I got these. Oh well. I'm starting to make plans for a new 911 so I thought I'd start rolling back some of the more enthusiast-oriented upgrades that won't be of interest to the general public.

They are probably best described on the Sharkwerks as:

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.

NOTE: For 2010-11 GT3 & RS models that have the factory option installed Dynamic Engine mounts these are NOT intended to be used as a replacement

I'm starting these at $250 which is $165 less than I paid for them after shipping and handling and a PCA discount. This is a whopping 38% off the best new price out there! The package I'm shipping them in weighs less than 4 pounds total and measures 11x6x8 inches so you can calculate shipping costs by whatever method you prefer (UPS, Fedex, or USPS ground, overnight, 2 day, etc.). I'll pass that cost straight though to you, no handling charge or other BS. I can also give you a quote for shipping if you send me your zip and preferred shipping method(s) to consider. Payment via Paypal only. I'll ship the first business day after payment is received.

Here are photos of the units I'm selling:
