hope come its breaking? you beat the crap out of it? you'll most likely need an aftermarket one if you just beat the crap out of the motor anyway.

spend money smart the first time and it'll save you in the long run.

Just get a hasport mount and call it a day and you don't have to worry about it again, besides you've broken 3 already how much did those cost you unless you got them for free.

You're in luck... you wont be spending $150... you'll be spending $350 and never EVER having to worry about it ever again. And the BLING factor! BLAMN!

i had my stock ek mount break on me, my motor torqued so much that the crank pulley chipped itsself on the chassis. on a stock motor!

you wont find anything better than a hasport. you could go with avid....but ive heard nothing but bad things about their products. my hasport was 190 shipped, but it was money well spent. i think you could take a sledge hammer to this thing and it would come out on top

My engine shifted so much that the header collector burnt a hole in my headliner.

Either keep replacing them with factor ones or upgrade to a HASport or Place Racing. I had the two EK Place Racing mounts and three ES Inserts for my '99 Si and couldn't have been happier with them.

Before i switched to aftermarket mounts and after my 2nd d/s mount i got inserts and filled the lower torque mounts with window weld. Worked great. Then i wanted the bling factor and went aftermarket.

spend the money and get hasports, they are life time warranty so if you break them you are set

Are you running all the oem mounts and torque mounts?

Usually motor mounts go right after another one due too extreme stress.

That stock mount is a pile of **** and actually I've seen too many of them in stock D series cars (older customers too) with them broken at 90,000 or so when we do the first timing belt job.

Buy the HASport mount and be done.

start cheap, $20 for motor mount inserts, if you then break your mount again, buy the hasport ones.
