Either fill them up with urethane or put the motor mount inserts. Energy makes them.

energy for my 4th gen were just under 30 for the front and back... it will prevent wheel hop, and just stiffen up the motor cutting down on movement, vibration isnt too bad.

Does Hasport sell mounts for a Prelude? I know they sell them for H22 engine swaps into civics.

lol. That's the problem. Hasport nor any other company makes replacement oem motor mounts for preludes. Now that innovative came out with some they are the only company who makes them.

I noticed that those only come with the side and rear mounts. Are they designed to use the stock front mount, or to have no front mount? Does the motor still sit the same?
Thanks

yes it still sits the same. You'd just have to use the stock front mount. I kinda thought it was weird that it didnt come with a front one....The front and rear are the most important ones...

Yea that is why I was curious if they were designed to use only 3 mounts. It seems odd to make such a nice kit only to leave one of the mounts stock. It could help a lot of us turbo people out if they were designed to run with only 3 mounts.

Innovative mounts will be making solid aluminum mounts in the near future.
I believe if you ask them they will tell you that you will not need the front mount. Call them.
You could also ask if they have plans for the 5th gen motor mounts.
Our kit shipped today - I will post pictures on the cardomin website when they arrive.
When you look at what goes into making custom parts the price of $299 is fair.
We needed these mounts really bad our back mount is shot.

If you want cheap and usefull. Just clean up the front and rear mounts with some degreaser. Pick up some roofers urethane from Home Depot or wherever, and fill the mounts. Let dry for 2 days and your good to go.
