Default Energy Suspenion mount kit for 97 HB w/ GSR motor?

I am wondering which Energy Suspension mount kit to get for my 97 Civic HB w/ GSR motor, I'm thinking the kit for the DOHC Si? Is this the right one?

Get the 94-99 Integra kit. I'll work perfectly. With the Si kit, the rear mount insert might be different.

Well, turns out I bought the kit you suggested which was the incorrect kit, and the only way it'll work is to hack up the inserts (still not perfect), the proper kit would be for the stock motor, because the stock mounts (rubber) are the same ones used for the swap, the only thing that needs to be changed are the rear t-bracket (metal, no rubber here) and the driver side bracket (on the block, once again no rubber here), so next time could you please have the correct information so I don't have to spend $40 on the wrong mounts, for anyone else looking to do this you will need to get the kit for your stock motor (ES insert kit # 16-1105) not for the (99-00 Si/94-00 GSR kit #16-1106) BTW the Integra and Dohc civic are the same kit.

Usually when people swap the motor, they swap the mounts as well. In my Civic they worked perfectly. I, of course, replaced my mounts when I replaced my motor.

You didn't mention that you reused your Civic mounts. That changes things.

I guess I should have said "Get the mount kit that matches your mounts."

How could you have possibly used the Si mounts? they are flat on top and on 96 and up civics where the passenger and driver side mount attach to the chassis there is a bump that keeps you from using the flat top Si mounts.
