Also, I removed the passenger seat just to make access easier. This probably wasn't necessary but it took little effort to do so. If you do remove the seat don't turn the ignition on or you'll trigger the air bag light.

One mistake I made is I forgot to put the heater on high so my heater core didn't get flushed. I drained and added 14 liters of coolant. The manual states there is 22 liters in the system so I definitely missed some. I even dropped the rear to get the radiators fluid out.

I replaced the entire motor mount with the 987 one. It was $138.62 from Sunset Porsche.
Agree on many points. I didn't get the coolant out of the radiators, and didn't use the Airlift, so I had to go back the second time to do it right.

The price you paid is about the same as buying the insert and have it pressed in. Then I would definitely buy the complete mount.

What kind of coolant did you use? I used Prestone.
