I just finished my EK hatch (same year) this past weekend. I used Avid mounts. DO NOT forget to buy a 99 si rear mount or your **** will be rigged like mine. You'll have to connect to 2 side mounts then lift on the front of the engine to level your crankcase and drill a hole in the old gsr rear mount at the point it's most level. Save yourself the headache and don't take the route I went, but the si rear mount

I know someone with Avid mounts, he hates them, they don't fit right. I put some on the counter next to some Hasport mounts and the differences were obvious. I saved up the extra money and got the Hasport mounts, very happy I did, as is everyone else I've talked to that bought the Hasport mounts. Spend your money wisely and do it right the first time.

Pm MrHeeltoe. The best price I've seen, free shipping. He's a HT sponsor.

I bought mine from these people:

https://honda-tech.com/zerothre...85949

Best pricing I found at the time (think it was $395 shipped for an EKSTK kit if I remember right) and they shipped it the same day that I ordered it. You do have to call them and request the H-T member price, as it is significantly lower than the price on their Web site.
