does any one know why energy suspension only makes the insert for 1 torque positoin for the accord

 

also does any one know where I can get the rear inserts

This is the only listing I saw.

 

there are no rear inserts because the ex rear mount is a power robbing part breaking excessive movement allowing POS

you need to get the rear mount and bracket off the same year lx/dx and get the prelude insert set for those two.

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE USE THE SEARCH FEATURE NEXTTIME!!!!!!

ive got all the mounts from a 97+ lude if anyone needs them

 

Or you could just make your stock Ex rear mount solid. Fill with either fiberglass bondo or window weld.

 

Does that window weld stuff dry to a hard fiberglass like finish or is it more of a silicone type consistency?

 

Nick will that stuff hold up under track pressures?

 

I have fiberglass long strand bondo in my side and rear mount. I havent broken or cracked them yet. I got this tip from a muscle car guy who is a Honda mechanic where I did my swap. He saw my urethane front insert and told me about this apparently old trick of using fiberglass long strand bondo to strengthen mounts. They have withstood plenty of hard launches on the strip even lousy high rpms clutch dumps.

I know your question pertains to track use so my guess would be it would hold up just as well under track conditions as long as they were no worse than dumping the clutch in an H22 powered accord at about 6500rpm.

My suggestion would be to try the fiberglass bondo on the rear mount. Fill the rubber insert completely. Allow it to dry etc. I painted mine black after it dried. (Not that anyone can see it, but im a perfectionist ) Give it a try. Beat the poo out of it. If you do manage to break it it was only a $10 experiment. You could then go with the Lx/Dx/Lude combo mount and get the insert for it or even fill that one up with bondo. I am very confident though that my bondo filled mounts are as strong as urethane inserts.

Listen to me, I sound like a salesman lol.

 

are the saying that the prelude set of two includes the front mount which work w/ the front accord EX mount?

 

I put the front inserts in and the whole car shakes like hell it is vibrating the srews out of my front bumper

 

lol. its rough but you get used to it.

 

I've heard of window weld long ago, but the bondo trick is new... not sure which i'd rather use when my time comes.

 

I dont mind it pesonally. Everyone asks me "why is everything rattling and shaking?"

Gimpy- Its not just any bondo, its fiberglass long strand bondo

 

I have just the front urethane insert and it is rough enough for my taste. The whole car shakes, especially bad with the a/c on.

 

what would that normally be used for?? and is it at any normal bodyshop supply?

 

I notice it the most when the raditor fans turn on while the A/C is on.
If those fans turn off.. then the vibrations almost dissappear even WITH the A/C on. Weird.

I have noticed a nice difference in performance however. I wonder if i replace the rear mount and get the prelude insert if the vibration will be alot more.. or lessened. I'm assuming more.

 

Its used to repair fiberglass. Im sure a body shop would have it.

I did my prelude drivers side and rear mount with it. My front mount has a urethane insert.
