Ian Comerford Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 It’s around ten years since I last changed engine mounts and I’m wondering what people think of their Wevo ones? Any feedback welcome Thank you Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustybum Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I’ve got wevo ones on the rear engine support beam. They look great but that’s about all I can tell you.😁 When I picked them up from the manufacturer he recommended fitting these to the big beam and standard or poly bushes to the gearbox beam. (For road use) Not had any issues with them. Regards Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
786 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I’m getting Clubsport engine and transmission mounts fitted, my shop recommended them as a great upgrade for a street car without being too harsh. They were relatively inexpensive too, $100 for all 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Comerford Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 Thank you. I u graded from standard to a set of mixed clubsport and cabriolet mounts for the engine and gearbox when I last replaced them as they are stiffer than standard. Fancied some Wevo ones this time but wanted to be sure the black ones weren’t harsh(er) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_911 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I have WEVO engine mounts - been in there for a long time. I originally ran the blue ones (I think that's all they offered at the time) but switched to the black ones some years ago. If anything I think I prefer the blue ones. I would not consider them harsh for road use - especially so for someone running a mega exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaky Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I fitted the WEVO blues many moons ago, harsher than standard ones, had no issues and after many many continent miles don't think they'll be an issue for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Are the wevo different to Superpro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say harsher, do you mean this or just firmer? Were they noisier? It would be good to understand the difference between the blue and black Wevos as it’s not obvious from the website.

Ian Comerford Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Just contacted Wevo to ask the question so will let you ‘now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a quick search D911 sell Superpro bushes for £85, but only the bushes ie no mountshttps://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod2612/Engine---Gearbox-Mount-Bush-Porsche-911-SuperPro/ I assume you have to tear your existing ones apart and use the new Superpro ones, to sure. The Wevo ones seem better engineered to me but need to know which is firmer, black or blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Comerford Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Just fitted these, they are very nicely made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mean in green Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 They look good. How did you get on with the “upside down or not” conundrum Ian, or is not an issue with these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Comerford Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Well, there isn’t an upside downside conundrum according to that tech spec I posted a couple of months ago. From a certain date (which I can’t recall) they are supposed to face inwards. The Wevo upper ones only face one way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2D2 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Whats the verdict Ian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Comerford Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 The verdict today is they look very nice, a bit of jewellery in the engine bay. Not driven it yet so no idea of whether they will be more firm that the clubsport ones that were fitted. I will let you know. The good thing is that if they are too firm I can just swap out the blue for the black ones at £36 Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
