I was going to purchase the es motor mount inserts for my gsr which is for the lower 3 torque mounts.

I also noticed that prothane makes inserts for the top 2 (left and right mounts)

Should I get all 5? or just the es inserts?

PS I have read up on jimfabs but I wanna keep all of my teeth in tact

I replaced the left, right and rear motor mounts/inserts on my car with ES units. I left the two torque mounts stock...the drivetrain is virtually rock-solid. I really doubt that changing the stock torque mounts will make any difference. At the time I bought mine, only Spoon was manufacturing the torque mounts in poly, I don't believe anyone else makes them.

 

why do you doubt that the two upper prothane mounts wouldn't make a difference than stock?

 

The two upper mounts aren't really for front to back motion from the motor, more side to side, they do help with a little front to back motion though.

Aside from more vibration, I doubt you would see a large difference from upgrading those two mounts also.

For a cheap alternative, just fill in the tranny mount with window weld. The mount near the timing belt, not much you can do.

 

Idid all of them and absolutely loved it.

I'm referring to the one on the front of the transmission and on the front left side of the block (on the a/c compressor bracket)

 

Oh okay. Thanks

I just made the purchase on the es bushings and I decided to use 3m window weld on the 2 side mounts up top.
