all the info you need is in these sites

 

I have not herd a whole lot of good things about Place racing... HCP and HAS are your best roughts! I used the HCP and they worked well so for

 

kenlude97, ur engine bay looks badass!! just thought id tell u

 

if i went with the hcp, do i need the cross member support, should i get the street or race setup? i might drag the car every once and a while.????????????????//

 

Get the street compound no matter what kit you buy. They are stiffer than OEM rubber mounts and perfect for weekend drag racing. The race compound is too stiff for everday driving and will rattle your *** numb.

On the EK Civics, if you're using the stock driver's side gel-filled mount, then yes it's very advisable to use the front crossbar. Otherwise, I've seen people's motors tear their stock framerail bracket right off of the frame because of the amount of power their using from the motor. Now, if you get a full urethane driver's side mount (Place Racing has one, HCP is coming out with there's in a couple of weeks), then it feels just like an EG Civic with 3 mounts - I test drove an EK hatch with the HCP prototype mount and there's no movement. The front crossbar is there for extra stability.

 

I have place racing mounts and they seem fine to me, just when i start the car it rattles a bit.
