Default Unbranded eBay motor mounts? Should I buy?

Hi new to the board but figured this would be the best place to ask. Just found these today http://www.ebay.com/itm/190765026152...84.m1555.l2649

I have a 2002 Civic and a K20 motor waiting in my garage. Trying to get it in soon so I can still get some driving in before it starts snowing.

These are over $100 cheaper than the Hasport and Avid motor mounts. Should I trust the? I figure that its the same material and CNC machined so how different could it be? I guess the urethane could be an issue but the description claims it to be the same quality as the competing mounts.

Has anyone bought these mounts before or have any experience with similar no name mounts? I did my research and know to steer clear of the welded ones but google wouldn't help me on this one

I actually bought these last week, was in a similar situation with worries but I have a trigger figure and too impulsive to pass a good deal, plus figured the same thing about it being the same manufacturing process (CNC) and material as the Hasports, worst case scenario is the bolts don't line up and I have 60 days to return them. Tracking says delivery tomorrow. I will post an update tomorrow or Tuesday as they are going straight it.

Awesome thanks mate, dying to see how it goes, as soon as I hear your review I will use my own trigger figure, for either these or the avids, don't want to wait until next pay check for the Hasports

I would guess the geometry is off and its probably not the same material.

Hey nyblues, guess what? These mounts are................





awesome, bolted right up and went for a test spin, no vibration at all, my friend that helped me with the install who has hasports is jealous. Will post a followup in a few months but I doubt there will be any issues, if so these have a lifetime warranty just like the Hasports. I am one happy camper.
