Default Pillow mounts

Is there a difference between the upper pillow mounts on an S2000 and a Civic, or are they using the same old parts? I'm only interested because I would like to use Ground Control Tophats, but obviously if there's a large difference, I'm not going to be able to because they are for a Civic or Integra.

Thanks in advance!

Im pretty sure there's a geometry difference between S2000 and civic tophats. However, for a double wishbone car, like an S2000 or integra or civic, pillowball mounts are gonna do nothing but make the ride less comfortable. They arent really gonna have much of a performance gain. They work very well in McPherson strut cars that have no upper control arm. The whole double wishbone upper control arm defeats the need for strut mounts that delete movement..because the balljoint on the upper control arm deletes movement. Kinda pointless.

the top hats (aka pillow mounts) are the same actually.

the bushings are stiffer on the s2000.

so then yeah, the gc top hats will work. but im not sure if it will clear the hood or if theres enough room in the rear for them.

i am going to find out soon myself when i get around to playing around with my suspension.

If you go to the site, on the upper mount section the drop down box lists an application for S2000, so im assuming that they are the same.

This man is brilliant...I didn't even think to look at that because is says, "What year is your car?" It doesn't ask anything about the make, so good find, Sir! If I had been more inquisitive, I could have saved myself some embarrassment.

So, I'm on Ground Control's website, and I'm looking at these S2000 upper mounts, and it gives you a section to order quantity of 1-8. The price at the top of the screen says "Our Price: $119.00" So I'm wondering if this is per corner, or what. I call them. This guy answers the phone, and I tell him what I'm needing to know. He tells me he's going to go to it on the website and look. He then puts me on hold, and comes back telling me that these mounts are for Civics and Integras, but that they do make them for the S2000. I tell him that if you go to what's you year that it gives you the S2000 option, but that's not what I asked him, was it? I asked him about the pricing. He puts me on hold again. When he comes back, he finally answers my question, and they are $119.00/pr. That meaning, it's $119 for the front pair, and 119 for the rear pair.

There...I hope that negates my thus-far foolish looking thread.
