Default ESMM install.

The main problem I had installing my Innovative's was the long *** stud on the passenger motor mount, I wound up taking off the bumper and headlight and putting a gearwrench through the hole. Otherthan that it was pretty straight forward with using a jack to line up the holes once the mounts and bolted back to the car. Let me know if you need any more help.

This is a mod that I'd never, ever, do again on a daily driven car. Once driving its fine, but sitting at a light with the A/C on the vibration is almost unbearable.

I have to disagree. I have ESMM on the front mount and Innovatie mounts for the other 3. Vibrations aren't bad at all. I kinda wish it vibrated more...

On my RSX, idle with A/C on hit a resonance that just shook the crap out of the interior.

On the EP3 though, remember that the motor features a balancer shaft (integrated with the oil pump). The RSX does not have this.

Really, there is no reason why motor mounts are needed unless you do a lot of hard launching or run a race header and don't want the header hitting the swaybar.

I plan on putting these on my car and this is really helpful. I was kind of confused on where to start and this helps a lot. I am hoping it will help with wheel hop and make a nice shifting diff. I don't mind it being on a daily. Thanks!

What k20a3?

But yeah, I have a RH too. Maybe without the rear ESMM it's not as brutal.

But they are necessary for the Race Header to be installed aren't they? I've heard it'll crack without them.
