so im puttin in my newest motor, my b20vtec in my crx......im just wanting to see if anyone has some input of these swap mounts:

basically will it make any difference to me???

the azrace mounts......$217 shipped


or these no-name brand for $159 shipped


the bottoms look shitty, but is it worth more?

 

Hasport

 

since money is an issue, I would go with HCP. HAsports are the best but they are like 2x as much as HCP. Everyone with HCP mounts says they are a great deal.

I really would stay away from cheap no name mounts. Its just not worth the risk IMO.

 

another vote for HCP if on a budget. do not get bargain mounts, you will regret it.

 

Never had a problem with place racing...

 

ive used hcp on 6 swaps so far and love them. you cant beat them for the money

those az racing look decent how is their return and customer support??????????/

 

HCP = Quality
HASport = Quality + Bling

Most of the lesser brands are knock-offs of HCP that don't fit worth a damn. If you're on a budget go with HCP or if you feel like being brave, take your chances with a cheaper set.

 

I have the Arizona Race & Machine mounts in my CRX with a B16 and haven't had any problems....

 

if you dont have time to do it right the first time when will you have time to do it right the second time.

Hasport = wont have to worry again.

 

ok well thanks everyone for your responses......i ended up buying the bottom set.....my reasons are:

1.) most everyone who posted negatively is not posting out of experience, more of a "honda-tech hype"

2.) i have NEVER heard of someone breaking the hcp mounts

3.) i also weld so if i run into any problems ill just fix it, i just did not want to have to re-create the mounts from scratch.

4.) i would rather "cut back" on the price of an external part of my swap rather than rods or some internal part. replacing the mounts is a 30mn process vs a broken rod being a destroyed motor.

5.) i just dont think its possible for 3 mounts to all fail at one time resulting in any damage.

 

well depending on your set up stock rods hold up pretty well to light boost and balanced all motor set ups. IMO

sorry if i sounded like i was making a decision between rods and mounts, thats not the truth, i was only making a comparrison.....its easyer to replace mounts than rods

thats all i meant....thanks!

 

If you want to save some bucks i would advise getting the HCP's. the bushings are lifetime anyways so theres nothing to loose if they were to fail on you. HASport is pretty good to but a little more expensive. Throughout this whole forum you'll see most of the HT'er are on HCp and HASport.

Ok so you're just gonna assume most of us are talking out of our *** and are just repeating stuff we read on HT. You really don't think any of us have firsthand experience? remember, this is the hybrid forum. Go ahead and get the cheap ****. I honestly don't know why you asked the question to begin with if you think we're all a bunch of lemmings

do you really think the only way your car could be damaged is if all three mounts broke at once?

 

dreamer take it is man......you are the one asuming, i did not say "dreamer and others who are talking out of your asses".....i said most, because as much as you may think everyone has done a swap there are tons and tons of kids on here that read all day long and dont have **** done.......yes 10,000 people could come to this post that have a crvtec crx.......im just saying a lot of peole post with no experience

and no i dont think the only way i will sustain damage is all 3 breaking at once, but yet again i have not seen anyone say they have broken a single hcp.....

Not sure what you mean by break, but I did rip apart the inserts on the rear mount of my h22/ek swap. Of course, this was in no problem with the hcp mount. Instead, I actually had a bracket bolt come out compeletely, and another blow out of the transmission casing.

Remember, these bolts were in the stock prelude bracket, not the hcp mount.

I hear ya, and believe it or not I wasn't offended. There are a lot of fanboys that come on here with little real experience. I just don't know why you asked the question if you already made up your mind. I think I'm confused, you're going with HCP now?

For $255 for a set. You can't go wrong. HASport's placement is arguably better, but for double the price, you better be ready to spend some cash.
