How do they feel compared to stock bushings and stock motor & tranny mounts? My Teg has 126,000 miles and it rides decent, but the suspension is a little mushy near the limit and the mounts are a little mushy as well under hard acceleration. Do you guys recommend them? Pro's? Cons? Opinions?

I can't speak in terms of the Integra but the urethane made a world of a difference in both of my Mustangs. They tightenned everything up dramatically. Turn-ins were much crisper and more solid and the cars lost a lot of sloshy feel. Some people say the ride is a good bit more harsh with urethane but I can't say the comfort is bad in either of my Mustangs.

 

I have them. I like them. But there's a few problems with them that are worth mentioning...

1. They do make the ride a bit worse...not terrible, but you'll notice.
2. They squeak once they've been on the car for a while. I don't care what the companies tell you about this...they just do. That grease, thick as it is, does wash away over time.
3. Because of #2, you'll want to take them out probably once a year and clean them / regrease them.
4. Huge, giant, first class pain in the *** to perform the install.

 

Maybe I should just install the engine and tranny mount inserts. Are they a pain in the *** as well?

 

Don't know. The front two engine mounts should be cake. The other ones, probably not fun.

 

I'm basically done doing mine. I just have to flip the front upper control arm bushings over (oops). Once I get the new radiator shipped in, the car will be ready and hopefully I'll be able to notice a difference. Thing is, I haven't driven the car for about a month already, so I'm sorta used to the sloppy suspended Prelude I've been driving.
