No I don't think so. It is a little extreme but not really. You should wait until has sport gets the new ep3 motor mounts done. They are made out of aluminum and have 3 different stiffnesses. I recommend buying the street ones, unless your car is a full race car. I mean trailered not a daily driver weekend racer, because of the street ones I got from them are stiff, but not too stiff. Just right. They are lighter and stronger. If you go with the race ones when you take off the dash in your ep3 will shake really bad. Thats why I recommend the street ones besides for a daily weekend driver you really dont want the motor mounts too stiff. I had an eg that I put the full energy suspension kit under the car and motor mounts. I had the ground control coilovers and tokico race shocks and it had really bad wheel hop. It took me awhile to find the problem but I figured out that the motor was too stiff. So I took out all of the energy suspension bushings except for the back one and had no more wheel hop or dash shake. If you buy the has sport ones the j's engine torque dampner will be for show, but not necessary. Thats what I did in my 02 ep3.

get Mugen full replacement motor mounts. they don't make your car rattle because they replace everything. But, back on topic, unless you have a K20A or a turbo a3/a2 then having the torque damper also is not necessary.
