when i looked at Pedro's page, I got the impression he was sending a bracket with the mount alrady installed into the bracket itself. you just unbolt hte one you have, and then bolt in the new one.... is that how it goes?

i'm right now torn between whether i do the enthusiast mount, or go for the new "upgraded" 987/cayman mount. not sure which is ultimately "better"?

i don't mind some vibration if there is a benefit to it, but i don't want to get vibration just to have vibration. some people have reported doing the cayman mount and also being very very happy with the result, and I don't beleive it results in any vibration at all...but maybe the end result is "not as good" as the Pedro mount in terms of improved shifting.

is there any improvement in overall "handling" feel of the car...like when you turn or corner, does the car feel more solid / rigid with this new Pedro mount? I did an engine mount on a prior car (which was also broken) and the result was firmer steering feel...as well as better shifting

just wondering what the results really will be...and what is the best mount to pick
Received mine yesterday, it is the entire bracket. The lower price for "core only" applies if you send in your old mount to be "reconditioned" and converted to the racing or enthusiast mount. I bought the entire assembly since the cost of shipping between Australia and the U.S. for me to return the bracket was cost prohibitive.

I hope this helps.
