Default ------- ES mount inserts a good idea for family car ? ? ? ? ? ?

<FONT COLOR="purple"> Well this is my daily driver
1994 Civic LX sedan with stock VX motor & tranny
No mods except for the ES shifter bushing which i loved how it firmed up the shifter. I'm doing the clutch this weekend & was thinking about getting ES motor mount inserts because i had good results with the shifter bushing & it's a cheap mod.

<U>I want the car to feel slighly firmer... BUT do not want the dash to be viberating...
Should I forget about it or go with them? </U>

FYI I have an ef with gsr swap and hasport mounts... thats not too bad but would not want as a daily driver. </FONT>


Thanks
Charlie Moua

I did everything but the rear mount and it's kind of rattley. It's not unbearable as long as it's warm, but it does rattle quite a bit when it's cold.

I did them. It was pretty anoying. Definatly don't do it to your stock daily driver.

woah seriousely...
Even though i'm still rocking the vx motor it would still send viberations to the interior?

Hum.... any other alternatives for fiming up the front of the car just a tad bit to get rid of the sway & bouncing feeling....
I want my car to handle like a stock PROTEGE would.... those car are not all that fast but great handling concidering what they have.

i've got gsr front sway bar... thats it.

i think that would be your only alternative being that any insert you get will do the same thing. unless you wanna buy oem inserts from honda which would cost you way more then ES.

vibrations are hardly noticable in my 99 civic, wheel hop was slightly reduced.
i recommend them, they're cheap and somewhat effective.
