i did a swap with a friend that used avid mounts. Very sloppy welds, inserts fell out while we were working the engine in. We couldn't get one of the bolts from the tranny to the mount to line up period.
My friend was really bummed out. I would get the HAsport...he was broke so we ended up swapping them out for HCP. Not bad but not as clean as the HAsport.

IMO, stick with what's proven. I mean really...what are you going to save? $30 over an HCP kit?

I've used them on a few cars H22s in Eg/Ek and B series in Eg and they seem fine. These are not daily driven cars though.

there fine but stiff so the inside of your car will rattle like hell. I like it though cause my cars handling got a little better and accelerated better but my old mounts were stock and somewhat melted.

That's cause of polyurethane inserts in the mounts, which HCP and Hasport use too. Rattling car just goes along with having a hybrid.
