Default ES motor mount inserts for EK w/gsr swap...I searched!!!


I searched for over an hour and could not find exactly what I needed so now I am posting. My shop told me that I needed new motor mount inserts for my 2 front lower mounts. They said to get the ones that are from a 96-00 civic because they utilized my stock mounts. So I have no problems with the front two.

As for the rear mount though...which mount should I use?? I will purchase the 96-00 civic mount inserts for the front two and should I purchase the 99-00 si rear mount insert from Prothane since you can buy separately from them??

Also...would it be a big deal if I changed out only the front 2 mount inserts and not the rear??...would it vibrate like crazy??

Thanks in advance for all your help!!

I used my original rear mount with my B18B swap, complete with the ES insert that was in it, so you should be fine with ordering the 96-00 inserts.

the rear mount don't matter just order the civic ones, they'll fit and also it wont make any difference (functionality wise) if you put 1,2 or all 3 of them in

Ait don't put them in, then go do some lunches with drag radials or better yet slicks. I bet you your driverside mount is going to break...

The ES inserts go in the torque mounts, and you'll use all stock ones for your swap. The rear t-bracket from an Si mounts to the stock rear mount. I learned by buying both GSR and EK inserts and ended up using only the EK ones. Also, I used all three and noticed a little more vibration at idle.

the back one gives you the most vibration.
