Default Stiffer motor mounts for 88-91 crx/civic

I need to get some stiffer motor mounts for my crx (ZC), can anyone recommend a good set to get? Has anyone used the Energy Suspension inserts? It only has 2 inserts though right?

I have those inserts. I think there is four. I don't remember exactly how many, but it wasn't for all four mounts. I don't drive without a hood so I can't tell you if the engine stays in place. But everything virbrates now because of them. Feels exactly like a car I drove with Hasports.

The Energy Suspension motor mount inserts are very good. I have those in my car now. It is way better than OEM and will last a long time because it is made of polyurethane.

I am running the ES motor mount inserts. If you have a rough idle you will notice a bunch of vibration but other than that I dont notice a thing.

I have the energy suspension inserts as well. The ones i got are just inserts, not actual mounts. there are 4 polyurethane pieces. they fit in only the front mount, and the rear mount (2 "halves" for each mount). I DO have a rough idle with my zc... but i don't know if its because of the mounts.. i doubt it.

I have the es inserts and they are definately the best bang for the buck!

i have the energy suspension front mount inserts and drivers side mount inserts.

no vibrating at idle for me.... felt a smoother shift, and seemed to keep the front end a little more solid. i also changed the front mount that was damaged with a brand new oem piece from honda at the same time.

i would really like to add the rear mount and trans mount inserts if i ever think about it when i have the extra cash.
