IMO its more about isntallation and quality parts than performance. all of them are going to hold your motor in the bay. but hasport goes that extra length in providing all mounting hardware and a lifetime waranty.. i dunno if hcp are lifetime

i used them on a swap on ym friends crx SI. they work awesome. trust me and get them. and they have lifetime warranty. Hasport is a rippoff and you are just paying for their name.

Yes they are great. The front mount takes a little effort but nothing too hard. I have HCP mounts and my shift linkage is not adjustible and its not welded either. HCP

kewl! now that ive heard that HCP mounts are awesome, i need some info from how to set up your engine using these mounts. im soon going to get my B16A SIR 1 ( finally!...) engine, and i was going to use a YS1 tranny, but i searched on another topic on hondatech and found info about what axles to use with which tranny.... >>i was wondering, did motor mounts have a big effect on which axles to use?<< i was planning on finding a set of 90-93 ( or all same year ) integra axles and intermediate shaft... does this sound like a good set up? let me know how your running your B16A / HCP / JDM tranny set up please so i know which set up wont give me any problems or vibrations! i dont want to mess anything up once i finally do the swap...thank you

i have said it before and i will say it again. i have the black hcp mounts, 1st generation available. it feels like the motor is flopping around in the engine bay, pretty annoying. i heard hcp got their act together for their new mounts, which are grey, the price also went down considerably, they used to be $520 for 4 mounts and a piece of s*it adjustable linkage, and you had to give them your old linkage for a core! now they are only like $375 for everything, with a welded linkage. figures.

That pretty much sums it up.

My mounts have gone through a bunch of motors,
10psi, and holding strong.

Weird... never heard that one before. Did you use the front mount or did you skip it for some reason?
