As a motor mount kit Co. I strongly suggest to spend on quality name.

A lot of what you see on ebay black mounts with the black inserts are made over seas and fitment could be horrible from what I have seen. There are a few Co's selling these black on black mount kits and calling it there own. They even say the inserts are polyurethane when it turns out they are rubber. Just my 2 cents.

As far as shift linkage should always ask the mount Co. they may or do sale linkages as well. Each motor mount kit could be 1/2" off here and there from each other.

I bought my car with a b16 already in it, but it had those ebay motor mounts. It makes your engine sit too far forward and too far up. That creats a couple problems.

1. It may cause problems closing your hood. My friend had this problem and had to cut up his hood lining. Others need to put spacers on their hood, making it look like its open all the time. Which looks bad.

2. It can cause your axles to bind. Which can be expensive since you would have destroyed one axle which could cost you about 80-100 bucks. Plus you would then need to buy a better set of motor mounts.

3. Your axles wouldnt be at thier right angle. That is what makes your axles bind, but it will also make you loose HP if your axles dont bind soon.

So if I were you I would just buy innovative mounts. They are much cheaper than hasport and have the same look and design.
