Relocate the brackets in the rex and use factory rubber engine mounts. That's what was done to mine and there is no vibration. Feels like it came that way from the factory.

only the "better" ones are polyurethane filled. (HASport, etc)
the cheaper ones use solid rubber.
OEM Honda uses rubber with gaps in the "webbing."

NOT hasport.. (sorry brian)
Not if you're trying to lessen vibration... they're just as bad as any others because they're poly bushings.. i asked Hasport if they could do a softer compound and its not an option unless you can run a front mount as well, which is something i'm going to do this year with a traction bar.

ONLY with all 4 mounts in, is a softer bushing is an option. I would never use a softer bushing with only 3 mounts, the torque would eat the bushing in one run. Hasport developed even stiffer bushings because even the polys can be crushed by enough torque.

I completely agree with what Reelizmpro said, relocating the brackets and using stock mounts is the way to go. That's what the pro's did before there were mount fabricators like Hasport and it's just like factory.

buy the hasport and ask for the softest urathane. they have three grades available.

if you try to ghetto off ebay they will never know the hardness of it.

MAKE SURE you bend the rear cross member out of the way.

then just do the swap.

its a lot cooler when the car vibrates anyway. scares the **** out of the ladies.

From what i understand, many mount kits including Hasport, are very stiff when 1st installed. After a season or two of driving, they are suposed to soften up a bit.

I would also think that by raising the idel up to maybe 900 or 1000rpm during the initial install may be a great way to keep an EF from shaking so much.

I'm well aware that hasport has 3 grades of urethane -
- Regular, like they've sold forever
- Even Stiffer than that
- And so solid you'd think there were no bushings, just metal.

Stop the misinformation!!!!! if you don't know what you're talking about shutup!

The problem is...when you buy them, almost NONE of the vendors specify or ask you want grade you want.

Most people don't even know different grades are offered!

I like the vibration, it gives it a racecar feel plus I hate when you drive hard and the motor moves as it does with softer bushing
