Nope. I just put in Wevos with black pillows which are softer than the blue pillows. Even with the soft pillows, I noticed some increase in vibration from the motor. For a street car, you don't want solid mounts.

i have solid motor and trans mounts in my 964. i don't have a truck/trailer so I drive to all the events. i don't drive all that much on the street but its not that bad. although the DC potholes and sharp pavement changes sometimes make my teeth hurt.

also, i thought the 944 was going to be your track car

No. Why bother with unknown and unproven custom-made parts? Just get Wevo's and be done with it. Or better yet, leave the stock mounts alone and spend your money on seat-time at the track instead.

Won't you need a running motor before worrying about mounts?

I have the blue wevos on both trans and engine. Don't listen to Roundman, he's a puss! Go hard or don't go at all.

solid wil make no improvment in your DE car other than help unscrew any fastner that was not locktighted inplace.

I made mine from some steel plate and chinese iron pipe.

You also have loose fasteners that were clearly not loctited.
