Default Best Motor mount?

Bros, Im trying to research the best set of motor mounts i should buy, i have a fully built LS Vtec, JDM GSR LSD tranny, Holset HX-35 turbo, in my 92 hatchy, its a nasty little beast, but now it's starting to wear badly on the underside of my hood from the motor torquing up and rubbing on the underside, right were the valve cover and the hood are closest. i definately need new motor mounts from the stock set up, but which ones are best. so far ive read great stuff from both Hasport, and Innovative.

Any suggestions?

if its not your daily or if you dont mind some vibration solid mounts are the way to go but to reduce movement you should look into the hasport mounts and i think energy suspension makes some pretty stiff inserts for stock mounts that work well if your on a budget

I know Innovative makes different "levels" of streetability for their mounts. Ranging from Alluminum to Steel, Solid to Squishy.

I had them on my B18T EJ6. You will regret getting solid ones if you ever want to just "drive". But get ones that are too soft, and you will be pissed that you don't see any improvement. I have a big puncture hole in my hood from my B20VTEC torquing.

Whoa, I was about to say. From exp they start out amazing but quickly diminish. I going to put some washers in mine to try and tighten it up some. The actual fit is also pretty shabby.

if you're going to be using it as a daily driver i suggest getting hasports for both sides and OEM rear. If you're just going to be tracking the car then get hasport all around. I tried solid all around on my daily and it almost broke interior stuff from the virbations.
