Default Dual Purpose Motor Mounts

Hey everyone. I have a 00 civic Si that I use as a double duty car. The other day I was looking at my engine trying to find the source of a slight oil leak and noticed one of my motor mounts was completely toast. I looked at the rest and realized that 3 of the 5 mounts are torn.

My question to you guys is what type of mounts should I get as replacements? I would like something stiffer than stock thats still streetable, any suggestions would be much appreciated.

HASPORT 62A, not much vibration if any noticeable at all and they keep the motor pretty stable.

Agreed. 62a would be nice upgrade from stock and has very little in cabin vibration.

Those hasport mounts look like a good option. Does anyone have any experience with the hardrace 5 piece kit?

If I was to go with hasport they only make the 3 main mounts, what should I do about my tranny mount and tower mount for the engine?

Lower torque mounts will no longer be needed at all with them. Engine movement will still be at a minimal. If you install the stock ones you literally won't notice a difference and you added more weight. Race cars are a different story, once you feel solid it's hard to go back. You will want to kill yourself if you tried to daily something like that though.

I race spec miata so I don't get to play with any fun stuff. That's why I run the Si as a DD and time attack car at my nearest go kart track which is why I like playing with all the fun mods I can't do to the Miata.

So it sounds like the choice is more or less between hasport and innovative, thanks for the all the info guys.

I went with the 'set of 3' 60a Innovative mounts for my '05 si around 10k miles ago. It's a long-dist commuter and occasional autocrosser...

After a few thousand miles they feel almost like stock, even with the AC on; yet engine movement has been drastically reduced. If I had to do it over I'd definitely go with the 75a durometer kit.
