mipstein,

I went through this debacle myself (First World Problems!) and ended up using the Function First engine mount insert, specifically the Orange version. They sell three versions, with Orange being the closest to the OEM insert, but a bit more stiffer than OEM, and possibly similar to the 987 insert (I did consider the 987 insert, truth be told.) I wanted something not TOO bone jarring because my car is 90% used on the street and I still wanted some level of comfort. A few guys I know went the 987 way, and we all agreed that there was no huge difference after driving each others cars. In fact, like yourself, I did mine when doing the water pump, thermostat, and belt last summer in 2019.

There are some other folks out there who used the Sport version (yellow) and complained it was unbearable, and finally the track version, for guys who pretty much use their car for near-dedicated track duty, and this one being the worst on the street. I would say that the orange version was the best compromise of them all, and I am quite happy with it, but others will say it was the worst thing since the plague, and have taken them off, defaulting to OEM. I suspect their vehicles have other issues that need to be sorted out, or their tolerance for extra vibration is low. I would go as far to say that even going to the OEM replacement will make a difference because these cars are not 3 years old anymore, so one should, and will notice a difference.
