the esmm are a very good mod for 20 bucks i got my moneys worth i currently have a cracked motor mount on my rsx, i was gonna buy the motor mount itself but eversince i bought the motor mount inserts it seems like the problem just went away sometimes i forget that i have a cracked motor mount.....point is 20 bucks for motor mount inserts is worth the dough, but nvh level will increase

The urethane inserts will actually deform over time; urethane doesn't spring back like rubber does.

The whole mount might need replacing, upgrading, or whichever. Others (like Chunky over at ephatch & clubrsx) have taken to filling the stock mounts with stiff urethane epoxy or window sealant. Old autocross trick.

Innovative and Enjo are the two names that come to mind (besides Mugen, of course). Both of them are urethane and completely custom, while Mugen uses harder rubber in the stock mount housing.

Personally, I'd either fill my stock mounts or go with Mugen.

A small excerpt:
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by chunky &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I thought about using the tried and true "window weld" fix, but the cure time on it was kind of ridiculous. I settled on some 3m 2 part poly urethane mixes. It's part of their "Scotch-weld" lineup of products. These products certainly weren't cheap (they required the purchase of a rather expensive applicator gun AND you have to use a new disposable nozzle for each bottle of stuff you use), but they had really short cure times AND were much firmer than window weld. For reference, window weld has a hardness of 55A and the products I used had a hardness of 70D and 85A respectively.</TD></TR></TABLE>
