Default Which motor mounts to Buy?

I have a 02 Ep3, I was doing a tensioner and idler pully an noticed that my pass side motor mount bushing was torn. I am looking to replace all of them, just wanting to know what brand is best? I am thinking of the hasports mounts... My car is all stock besides stage 1 exedy race clutch and light weight flywheel, header & exhaust and hondata air box mod. Im open to any opinion on any brand, just want somethin good.

to be honest they are all about the same.. pick the durometer that you want and see what you can get for the cheapest. i would stick with hasport, innovative,hardrace.

innovative mounts with the 60a bushings are good enough for the mods that you have

Avid mounts aren't bad either.
Hasport makes a lot of noise.

Is this a joke? You are actually saying Avid aren't bad, but Hasport are lol

To the OP, if you don't want to spend the money on a full mount kit, you can also just get that one mount from Hasport by itself: http://www.hamotorsports.com/dc5rhmount.html

i never said Hasport is bad. They make a lot of noise. Like getting poly urethane bushings are squeaky as ****, but still good bushings to sport.
Nothing wrong with Avid. Innovative. or Hasport. You just pay more for Hasport for the name an noise.

Your setup doesn't need full mounts imo. I'd save money and get inserts unless you plan to dramatically increase power in the future.

I picked up a set of Drop Engineering mounts for my 99 EK and love them since I installed them ~4 months/6,000 miles ago. I put up a thread a little while ago when I first put them in.

I have never heard of any noise complaint from hasport. Innovatives are garbage and their bushings deform after a few thousand miles. Drop engineering are horrible. The metal cracked after 1 run on my friends car.

i would just stick with stock mounts. with the power that you are making, there is no reason to upgrade for the minimal "power loss" from the motor moving.

you will enjoy the ride much more with stock mounts. no shaking, rattling, and vibrations.
