Che, Could you look into possibly creating an aftermarket front engine mount and possibly transmission mounts... cause they are pricey like a mofo and they all eventually wear out as have the mounts on my boxster currently.

Dude the OEM motor mounts aren't that much,like $180/parts. Isn't the one that goes bad fast located behind the driver seat? The tranny mounts should only be around $200-250/each.

Like Mr.Focke said,check out Pedro's stuff.

Yeah i looked at his, I think i was quoted much higher than 180 from pacific porsche, Ill probably order up one from Pedro. Thanks blink & mike

Thanks for any input

I am not going to knock the quality of the parts, I am only going to comment on the TUV aspect.

TUV cert's, from what I have researched, are used for parts being exported to Germany with the intent of being used on public highways.

Considering the parts are from Taiwan (maybe even China) and all they really do is copy existig designs, I am sure there was no money invested into the certification (whether TUV or anything else). It's very difficult to find a Taiwan manufacturer that is willing to go the extra mile and get saftey cert's.

From experience, I have seen and used different links that were manufactured in Taiwan and for the most part they hold up very well on FLAT roads. They aren't going to break on bumpy roads, but they do undergo much more dynamic stresses. This is as opposed to linear stresses on a flat road coourse.

I've seen links break from driving over potholes...but this is a rare occurrence.

If the vehicle is going to be tracked then by all means. I would invest in a set of rods regardless of track duties or daily driving duties.

Just my thoughts.
