Hardrace rubber mounts for a DD. However if you can deal with some vibrations Hasport and inavative sell 62A poly mounts. Soft enought to not shake bolts loose but stiff enought that engine wont move.


For a simply DD, I'd go with the Hardrace mounts.

Sound like you need the rear mount, which oem is best.

Driver side and rear need to be a b series mount. The other 3 have the b series bracket bolt into body mounts. So those body mounts can be d series..

Had a look at my rear mount and it does go thru a body mount too.. So only that driver side that needs to be B series mount(SI).. All 4 others can be Dseries(DX).. Dont forget in Canada SI still means D series to me, SIR is the B16

I need to replace mine too, especially the rear one. Genuine Honda will probably last longer, but I'll probably just get whatever OEM equivalent is cheap on rockauto.com. Polys last forever, but they don't dampen much vibration.

I used 98 ITR mounts when I had my 94 GSR. They were very stiff, yet no vibrations at all. Before that I was running Jim fab solid mounts and it was unbearable.
