Im clueless.

What are good engine mounts to use? Im not boosting and i dont expect to go that high in horse power, but i would like stiffer mounts then stock. (GSR)

 

you dont want to spend a **** load of money like you would with hasport,nor do you want to cheap out and buy some ebay ****(you get what you pay for). I would go with avid, they are right in the middle with a fair price, and they have many versions of mounts for you to choose from(go with the softest IMO). The difference between stock is very noticable yet not too stiff to the point where you want to jump out of the car like you would with hasport!

 

I've had Prothane inserts for some time now. They are a bit stiff but it's not that bad to me. Most of my vibrations are at idle. I had ES inserts but they weren't stiff enough for me. Both are a cheap fix.

 

prothane inserts f****** suck! i had those and one popped out, my motor mount tour, and then my valve cover rubbed on my hood and looks like complete ***. OP go with a proper mount, my opinion on the inserts is that really are the worst way to go other than have stock mounts that is... i'm in the process of getting some almost new hasports from my buddy for $250. see if you can find a good such as i just did on a better set of mounts. heard hasports are ruff but they're reliable.

 

Thats the first I've ever heard of inserts of any brand coming out of place. I had mine for a long time with a JRSC on the car, endless passes down the 1320 and never missed a beat. Sorry for your bad experience.

 

Innovative steel mounts

 

weld them solid

 

Go with Innovative solid mounts there just a little under 300 and there good mounts for what you pay for.

 

I have the street version of the Hasport mounts and they send some vibration through the car but not too bad. I think solid mounts would drive you insane.

 

Innovative Steel mounts in 60A or 75A

I run the 75A in my car and love them. There isnt too much vibration but I know the motor is going to be moving a lot less than stock mounts

 

Honestly, Solid motor mounts are really are not meant for daily driving. If you dont use washers on your subframe you can weaken the subframe. I had them for a month, They are nice, No motor movement, but its like having a second exhaust.

If you got the extra money buy Hasports, or get used Hasports. Innovative makes really good mounts.

Avid are ok, I've owned these too as well.
Innovative is the way to go if your budget minded person. You wont feel much with regular Hasport mounts only at idle you will.


Hope this helps.

 

One thing that hated about the stock mounts is all the wheel hop you get at the drag strip. When I first installed my inserts years ago, I cranked the car and said MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE???!!!
I noticed the vibration is not as bad once the car warms up and now I can't imagine not having them. I like the feel and sudden response to the throttle they give.
My next venture will be some actual solid brand name mounts like Inovative or Hasport.

 

get an innovative traction bar that will take care of your wheel hop

 

The stiffer the mounts, the harder it is on the drivetrain.

 

what does this have to do with all motor?
