Lift your car.
Prop your motor with a jack.
Unbolt the long bolt going through the mount.
Insert like a puzzle piece.

Do this for each mount leaving the motor proped w/ a jack.

It's a lot easier if you can get access to a lift, of course.

they do make a difference
best mod for 30 bucks by far
if you can stand the vibrations it will reduce wheelhop and help make shifts smoother

try a search on this forum
if no success
i know for sure they have a diy on clubrsx

Everyone says the vibrations are horrible, but I had them on my Spec-V(i know it's a completely different car) and on the Sentra forums people talked about the vibrations. I personally didn't feel almost anything(extremely slight vibs at red lights).

I doubt I'll be getting them in that case. I'll probably stick with getting the spoon or ingalls dampers. A bit pricey, but almost no vibration.

Well they tend to vibrate more when the motor mounts are already damaged or broken. And people still put them in anyway since you can to that. BUt if your motor mounts are perfectly fine then the vibrations are not bad at all. In fact they are not even noticable. Now if you have the Hasport 70MM rear race mount like i do, then you will be complaining, but me i enjoy the back massage i get from my seats.

My mounts are fine. I only have 18,000 on the car.
I'm kinda shocked at how crappy the mount setup is on RSX's. On RSX's the mounts tend to break so much and then the header cracking too. Oh well.
