Let me try to answer a few of the questions...

... first, if you have an OEM mount, they only last 45,000 miles.
If your mileage is beyond that, I guarantee it is cracked.

The 987/Cayman mount is much softer than the older 986 mount. Some customers complained about the 3000 RPM vibration and Porsche removed even more material and made the material even softer. They now only last 35,000 miles.

Most people find the Enthusiast's Version their choice, even if they AX and DE.
The Racing Version I only recommend for a track car. The vibrations are very noticeable. I'd only recommend it for a dedicated track car.
The Racing version also provides less power loss to the rear wheels.
Both versions provide much better shifting.

When it's brutally cold (below 20F) the remanufactured mounts will transmit much more vibrations for the first 10 minutes or so, until the engine's temperature warms up the synthetic rubber compound and makes it more flexible. In warmer climates, it's a non issue.

The TechnoMount is supplied as a bolt-in piece, complete bracket, not just the center.

The TechnoMount will not harm the transmission mounts which are gel-filled.

Hope this helps.
If you need more info feel free to contact me.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
