i haven't actually gotten a chance to look at the motor mounts, but do you know which inserts go where? are 2 of them used on the rear and then 1 on each side?

Do these actually prove to benefit the car or would Hasports motor mounts be a better route to chose.

from what i've read, in a nut shell they help minimize wheel hop, thereby accelerating faster. negative: they transfer engine vibration to the cabin a tad bit. not much though from what i've read...

thats what they do and the real solid mounts would be better because they are replacements for more than just the two mounts.....but also cost alot more

I'm pretty sure that the solid mounts will make the in cabin vibration worse. Those inserts in the picture seems to be right. I have them but in red color. They are good for eliminating wheel hop and the vibration can hardly be felt unless you turn on the a/c.

You can buy some at http://www.lightningmotorsports.com They are listed as $17.xx. To me, shipped came out to 25.xx. On that site, you have to get the one that's listed for the RSX.
