i'd stick with the hasports. i've only seen them for b-series crx, but not over time. the motor hung low as hell. the car was only a little lower than stock height, but there still wasn't much ground clearance for the oil pan/tranny case.

did you see them with a b-series or an h-series because the h-series motors usually hang low anyway

Avid are not comparable to hasport, usually they are knockoffs of HCP mounts.

I've been using avid mounts for 15 months now. They're good mounts but the motor sits too low. These mounts do not work well with slammed cars. I had to raise my car up because my dc 4-1 kept hitting ****. As of now there's 3.5" header to ground clearance. I haven't hit the header in months.

setup: ed6/b16/avid mounts

True. On my car the header will get hit before the oil pan. The 4-1 header protects my oil pan and tranny case.

my friend put some in a 95 civic with a h22 swap, man he had a hell of a time just to put the mounts in, hasport is more expensive for a reason
