Icon2 Which cars came with 3 Bolt Post?

I have been searching and asking people and nobody has a firm answer.

Can someone please shead some light for me...

Which Hondas/Acuras came with the 3 Bolt Post Driverside motor mount?

I am looking for the actual post to replace my 2 Bolt post. Also does anyone one have insight on which setup out of the two is better and way? I was told 2 is bigger bolts but then someone else said the 3 bolt is stronger.

Thanx,
Dre

If you are talking about the drivers engine mount post....they are all a 2 bolt setup (as far as civic and Integra's go). There is no issues with strength in the design

'94 - '95 Civic EX/Si/VX and '94 - '01 Integra (all models) used a 3 post mount. Everything else used a 2 bolt setup.

No im afraid you're incorrect; if that was the case I would not have the issue I am dealing with. I am planning on buying a set of Innovative Motor Mounts off a buddy but since Innovative sells the sets in both 2 Bolt and 3 Bolt post set up (because there is a difference) I happen to have 2 Bolt which is the most common nd his set is the the 3 Bolt:: Thus my Dilemma

This is what the post mount looks like on my 00 EM1- 2 bolts, i do not think i am wrong in saying what i did

EKs were all 2 bolt. EGs look exactly the same as Integra, if you want to get technical the 2 post mounts actually have 2 studs, not bolts, the 3 post have 2 studs and a bolt. Quickest way to tell is the 3 post mounts use an aluminum driver's side mount. As far as why you don't recall seeing them? I think I can explain that. Of the cars listed I think only the Si coupes were available in '94 - '95, The Si and VX hatches were unavailable in Canada at that point, as were the EX-V sedans.

Do you mean the studs? The nuts? ..... The two post doesn't use a a bolt, it uses two studs and two nuts. The three post uses two studs, two nuts, and a bolt.
