Has anyone tried to use both of the these kits at the same time what are your opinions?

 

which is better for street use also? Ive heard the prothane are very stiff but the energy arent stiff enough thanks

 

Ask Crunch on this board. He has Prothanes on "his" ITR. He should give you some input.

what are the part #'s for the R's, if anyone knows.

 

fwiw, I purchased the ES kit recently... 6 inserts that go into the 3 lower mounts - they work with the stock mounts.

They don't have anything for the upper mounts - so I figure I'll try to find some upper mounts if they're not stiff enough.....

 

i have the es ones to , i just didnt put em in yet ,
i hear they help for wheel hop , but very stiff and get alot of vibration .

 

prothane mounts are so stiff, I can see them ripping the mount right off the car.
They are NOTHING like the ES inserts

 

I have the ES ones.

Traction/wheel hop is way better at the expense of some vibration. If you run an aftermarket clutch like I do - prepare for some crazy dashboard vibration.

 

What clutch are you using?

 

Mugen 3-puck




** the vibration is only during clutch engagement in 1st (i.e. chatter)

Doesn't sound like either of these kits are very comfortable for a street driven car. Are there any other choices short of the $$$$ Spoon and Mugen ones which are $400+ bucks.

Mine are dying and need replaced.....tons of drivetrain slop right now

 

spoon/mugen mounts dont do ANYTHING.
If your mnounts need replacing, the ES inserts wont do anything either
