if u want nothing but performance than jimfab is the guy for you.. but if you can't stand a rougher idle then go to hasport...and the nice thing is that jim's mounts are ultra low priced good luck

jimfab are 100$ shipped for all 3, he's a good guy and has awesome customer service... the traction bars are awesome quality as well. the idle is rougher, but performance increases.

the hasport will roughen the idle too, they are around 350$ but that may be for 5 mounts.

i guess my question is if the jimfab mounts are as durable and fit as well as the hasport? i would rather save the 250$, but i dont want the poly tearing up on me. does anyone run either of these?

should i get the street or race mount? there is a post from an itr owner who is running the race mounts and likes them alot. someone i know has experience with the 2 lower mounts in street compound, but not the tranny mount, he says the vibration is tollerable and performance is significantly better. i pmed him but he is offline.

the 2 upper mounts...

Jim makes the 2 lower "torque" mounts and the rear tranny mount......hasport makes all 5 is what my assumption is....

according to the hasport website 3 mounts are included in their kits, not 5... for almost 400$.

the 3 torque-bearing mounts are included in the jimfab kit for 100$.

the difference between the 2 seems to be the billit (hasport) vs welded(jimfab).

jim's street mounts are 60 durometer. the hasport are available in 60, 72, or 88.

i am sending jim an email about the different compounds he offers


lastly, if i get the 3 mounts from jimfab, can i use my stock(94 civic ex) upper mounts for the b18c swap? or do i need to get integra ones? thanks for the help everyone

I currently have the same delema, however my prob. is that the 2 front torque mounts are torn and my main mount on the drivers side is also torn. Where can I get these mounts? I tried straight from the dealer but they are 180$ all hardware included.

Bunch of my friends were running the Jim Fab "red" vibration mounts, and they liked them. They do vibrate everything quite a bit though, but there's always some sacrafice
