So i wanna order a set soon and i was wondering what urethane stiffness would be the best to run without torque mounts safely. The car is a 00 ex with a b18c swap basically stock engine and im not looking to make high horse power either since the car is basically going to be used for shows and such but i wanna feel safe if i do get on it , so what do u guys recommend?

 

This interests me aswell as I need to replace the motor mounts on my ex with a b16a2 swap. However I would like mine for race applications. Where are you ordering your mounts from?

 

VB motorsports , but im really confused about the stiffnes , anyone that has these mounts care to explain?

 

its not like the torque mounts are really doing a whole lot. i just got innovate mounts and the torque mounts arent going back in...one was missing to begin with and the other someone before me cross threaded the bolts into the frame

 

Well which mounts u got bro?

 

I would go with the street mounts

 

Bump

 

I have Innovative in my prelude and i hate them. But if you can stand to here your car vibrate everywhere go for it

 

Thats weird , ur the first one i hear saying that

 

thats the best when you first install them the whole car vibrates then after a while it tones down i had the red bushing ones worked for me and was happy with them too

 

I had the innovative 62A Mounts for my EK.. Needless to say, they wore out in one summer.

I would get HASports, 62A or 70A.

 

I have an ls swap, with the innovative race mounts (85A Grey Bushing) and its true what HONDABIGBLOCK said about the car vibrating. But id take all that vibrating for how stiff these mounts are.

 

i have been running the e/s motor mount inserts and they cause a little vibration and hold the motor in place very well for the money.

 

So hasport 70a's do they cause a lot of vibration? and can the car run safely without torque mounts? i mean innovatives arent supposed to wear out that quickly cause i've heard nothing but good things about them

 

bump

 

good in my book but i like hasport street mounts better

 

i have the hasport street mounts on a turboed gsr in a 99 em1 and i have no need for the torque mounts

 

yes sirrr

 

I cant seen to find a straight answer anywhere, will the street bushings be alright on both sets to not run any torque mounts?

 

wit the street mounts u wont need torque mounts SO yea

 

So even if u do stomp on it w/o torque mounts from time to time , the mounts do their job right?

 

yea i dont drag but i drive hard when the time is right

 

Can someone give a good reason NOT to run the torque mounts? I know how much fun they are to install, but wouldn't more bracing be better in any situation?

 

well...i welded my hasport solid, and im not running power steering or anyhting like that, nevewr really been to concerned bout the vibration...its not really a cadillac, ya dig? if in my opinion i ran innovatives for a while and like they say...you get what you pay for.

 

ive never had a issue with out the torque mounts first a b16 turbo then gsr turbo and still no problems.
