Default anybody rockin h22 avid mounts in their eg?

ive searched and cant find what im looking for. all of the old posts say that the avid mounts vibrate like crazy. some posts say they were working on a lower durometer bushing. none of the newer posts seem to say much at all.

what im wondering is how bad the avid mounts vibrate now?
im planning on doing the swap here in the next few months and am researching everything i can about the swap. hasport mounts seem to be the best but i have seen no comparisons to the avid mounts. for the 150-200 dollar difference it better be something phenomenal.
any insight into the avid mounts that have been purchased within the last year would be great. im still waiting on an email from avid to see if the offer the 60a durometer bushings or if its just the 70a. please any HELPFUL information is appreciated. for the haters please understand im not a baller and money doesnt grow on trees, my 2 kids need to eat so if i dont have to im not gonna by hasports when their are others that are potentially as good out their

We are talking about quality, you get what you pay for!!

A Honda is a higher quality car, that's why you bought one. Why throw junk parts on it? Get the good stuff! I have yet to see someone buy quality parts that fit and perform better and regret it

everyone is dancing around my question....why are they "lower" quality?
with out a reason its just blowin smoke.....

without a doubt i have already ordered hasport mounts anyway, i emailed hasport asking what made their mounts better and even they didnt give me a straight answer. but they did say that they couldnt guarantee that their axles would work correctly with any other mount kits. well i had already made my mind up about the axles so they gave me a website where the kits were cheaper than on their own site so i went ahead and ordered them.
but im still curious as to how avids perform

Nobody is dancing around such a simple question about quality, but i'll take a moment to explain it, since you can't figure out why.......

I used to sell that Avid junk. They are put together more cheaply, not as solid. Customers would complain about how some swaps the engine swaps had positioning issues which would lead to short axle life because of the binding....others had the poly separate or pop out of the mounts themselves.....you getting the picture??

you act as if you said that already... this was the first time any real answer was given. no need to act as if im an idiot. this isnt my first rodeo and im not some young punk. if you would have given that answer first instead of just replying that their junk with no explanation. this whole post could have all been avoided and 5 minutes of my life wouldnt have been wasted typing this reply.

you can find hasport mounts very competitively priced from the H-T vendors or on ebay

you can get the EGH2 kit with 62a, 70a, 88a or 94a bushings
