Default Motor Mounts, Is ITR vs GSR a different durometer?


Item 12 in the image.
GSR part number 50841-ST0-N10
ITR part number 50841-ST7-Z00
I need to know if the ITR will reduce the engine movement over the GSR one that is going bad on my car. Plus the ITR one is cheaper.

I'm asking about the ITR Motor Mount.
I was under the impression ITR owners where very knowledgable about there cars. I figured this would be a quick answer for someone.

best answer: all factory motor mounts go bad. get some aftermarket ones.

Durometer measure of the hardness of a material.
The bushings in the motor mounts are made out of a specific rubber that has a durometer value. I am trying to confirm if the ITR is made from a harder rubber, higher durometer, than the GSR bushings.
Granny Shifting, not sure about, that must all the years of drag racing power shifts.

That's what I orginally thought, but when the part number was different I wasn't so sure. Plus the ITR part is about $5 cheaper.

It's a perfectly valid question for this forum. Your whole "This isn't an ITR question" thing gets old. It's not like he asked what the best suspension would be for his TL.

Default Re: Motor Mounts, Is ITR vs GSR a different durometer?

anyone have an answer?

im replacing the mounts in my beater 4dr integra. I already replaced the rear mount with an ITR mount. Like the OP said its a little cheaper and a chance it might be better. I have to replace the 2 front torque mounts next.

This is my beater, I don't want the vibration of aftermarket mounts. When i want that i go drive my civic!

The ITR mounts are
50841-ST7-Z00 $31.94
50842-ST7-Z00 $31.94

The GSR mounts are
50841-ST0-N10 $37.35
50842-ST0-N10 $37.35

The ITR mounts are either stiffer or cheaper, or both. How can you lose?

I only changed one of mine out so far. I can take the new ITR and the old GSR ones to work and have them checked.
And no they are not drilled out. They look exactly the same except for the different part numbers of them.

Using common sense, the ITR would have to be the same, if not better. There's no way it could be any less. Furthermore, the ITR one is cheaper so you can come to the conclusion yourself on which one you should get. If you're concerned about stiffness, go with inserts or go with aftermarket mounts.

When I first installed my inserts I said OMG what have I done?! Now I can't think of not having them.

Yeah I remember the first time I started my R with the inserts, the motor was dead cold and everything that wasn't tied down rattled like crazy.
What's funny is my wife took it to the track to try out the new mounts that Friday night when I was at work. She red-lighted three times because it does make it a bit more responsive on the launch. The following week I didin't the same thing twice.
