I can't afford Hasports right now.

I seen some Energy Suspension Motor mount inserts online for $40 .

Has anyone use them before? Are they worth it?

lyncoors

I just got mines in. Waiting to put them in this weekend. I'll let you know how it feels.

I think they worth it. I am using them right now. I purchase them 2 years ago. And they are still useful to me.

If you are going to do them its best to do the motor mount inserts and the torque mount inserts. this will make the motor pretty solid and reduce wheel hop as well as not have much vibration. ive been runnign all the inserts in my dc2 for 3 years now and my motor is still rock solid

i got them in my rsx, i like em'.

I had them on my old integra. I couldn't stand the extra vibration! I hated the way my steering wheel would shake at idle. But if that's not something that would bother you, then go for it!

tiresmokindad

Yes I agree. I am also bothering with that. :D

it will shake VIOLENTLY the first couple of months,

but eventually it softens up,

im not sure if you just get used to it, or if they are breaking in...

jfm

I think you just got used to them haha. I had them for about 2 years and I don't think it ever softened up. I wouldn't say the shaking was violent, just annoying. It probably wouldn't have bothered me so much if I didn't have friends with similar cars I could compare it too.

I assume (but don't know first hand) that solid mounts like hasports would be just as bad. So if that is what you are looking for, I think the inserts are good for the money. Despite the vibration, they do what they are supposed to.

Okay I started to install the ES torq mount kit today, got the 2 lower passanger and driver inserts in, but how in the hell do you get the rear torq inserts in without removing the engine?
This is the kit im using.

i had a mount brack on my civic and used energy suspension mount inserts and they worked great even with a broken mount. To get the rear mount you might have to take it off the engine install the mount insert then put back on car

cleansi

easy. take the one bolt out of the back of the mount (the one that connects to the rear subframe mount jack the back of the engine up with a floor jack loosen the 2 side mounts (so the engine will raise more) then take the mount off insert them, and place back in the rear bracket.

Or you could just remove all 4 bolts holding the rear bracket in and not worry about jacking the engine up. Jacking the engine up will put SEVERE stress on the two side mounts and cause other problems. No need to be lazy, its only three more bolts and about 5 mins if that to completely disconnect the rear mount. Once you have done this, you can get the inserts into place with a little work.

I have them on all five motor mounts and I love it! I will upgrade to

better ones when I need to. I don't have anywhere near as much

vibrations as other solid mount replacements though.

who doesn't like titty bit more vibration?

LightningTeg

First few weeks/month the vibration was pretty noticable. You'll get used to it and it gets alot better.

As for the rear mount: Lots of extensions and u-joints:

I used these AND re-enforced them by drilling into them and throwing in bolts to keep them together and they still didnt hold up to 223ft/lbs of torque. I had a nice ding in my hood from the VC hitting it.

I got HardRace mounts for 250 for all 5 and havent had any problems. They dont shake the wheel and are alot harder than OE mounts.

Highly recommended over hasports!
