Your posts list your car as: 2000 base.
You list part # to be: 9A137525701 - $31.89 each On FCP Euro site, however, that part number shows compatibility with only 2005+ boxster
The part number that come up for my car (2001 986S) is 98637525501 which is a lot thinner, and cost $14.19 ea.
Is there a reason why you did the comparison with the newer part number?

I intend to just buy them, so trying to find out if I should go with the newer design or the correct older design.

Too long ago to remember... likely there was confusion between the parts for the original 986 mount and the replacement 987 mount.

I see what you are saying. The new motor mount insert design is actually the updated 987 design, and so it should be used with the new mount stop: 9A13752570
