my car is a daily driver... 2000 gsr two door with 60k miles.
every now and then..depending on certain conditions...i'll get annoying wheel hop..
i want to elimate this but i don't want my dashboard vibrating harder than kobe tai's ***** with fresh new batteries turned all the way up.

thanks.

If you don't want your car to vibrate then stay away from the Prothane inserts..

I have the Prothane inserts and every panel in my car vibrates..

I have heard that the ES inserts dont make your car vibrate...

 

ES , black ones ill give it a

do you have them? how do you like them?
input, pls

 

i have es inserts, my car vibrates too, havent felt vibration on prothane but inserts are going to make your car vibrate no matter what. by inserting those you eliminate any room for the motor to move/rock at idle or at hard shifting, the mounts are solid. its just like having aftermarket mounts. but make sure whoever does your es inserts, to secure them w/ washers so they will hold in there, those zip-ties arent enough. just to be in the safe side.

 

and as for performance i love it. i have been rolling around w/ torn mounts for almost a year, I ended up replacing the tranny mount, and another mount was in pretty bad shape. during that time I was hitting ok times at the track but was wondering why i couldn't get traction. I havent gone to the track since but im pretty sure itll be fun. no wheel hop when chirping, havent launched yet but im sure thatll be fun too. good luck

 

Go with the ES ones. I have em in my car. There is a noticable vibration gained at idle, but its not as bad as it is made out to be. Make sure you put all 3 mounts in though. They were meant to work together. The rear is a PITA, but it balances things out. Most people I know only put in the fronts, and theirs vibrate worst then mine.

I do like them though

 

I just installed ES inserts on mine last friday on my 94 GSR. I bought hardware for the front mounts instead of the zip ties. My rear mount was torn out completely and replaced and I used the original front mounts as they weren't that bad. The rear mount was a complete bitch. It took me and my brother 9 hours to do all three mounts. It added a little vibration at idle but the feel when shifting is amazing. It feels solid and has great feedback. I have a few annoying rattles and/or buzzes inside at idle but the way the car feels makes it all worth it. The positives greatly outweigh the negatives.

By the way I'm new to Honda-tech but I frequent team-integra.net (the best Integra forum on the net). So hello everyone.

right on

 

I had Prothane inserts in my old Integra. Believe me, if your car is a daily driver, you do not want them.

I've never personally experienced the Energy Suspension, but I've received good feedback from my customers who've used them.

 

I have the energy suspension black ones and their not that bad. There is quite a bit of vibrations at idle but other than that they're very drivable with.

 

thanks alot guys.

this is why i love honda tech..even with all the drama it may come with at times.

looks like i'm swaying towards the ES ones...

anyone in so cali wanna install em? someone said i should use washers?
any suggestions/offers/tips?

 

I have the ES mounts

Where in So Cali are you?

 

I got/had es ones...
I loved them, but wanted more

So i got prothane uppers, and prothane rear, for the prothane upper..I have the race insert in.

For vibration..my girl loves it, haha. It vibrates like crazy.


Besides that, search

yah i did search.. didn't get the answers i was lookin for...

one of my friends said if i install the es rear insert, i won't be able to hear music..
he also suggested jim fab lower fronts, and just replace the rear with stock if i need to.. any thoughts/opinions?

 

Jim fab are HARDER then es


The ES is ment to work as a SET or not at all. You get more vibrations using only the front 2 ES.

I have all prothane and ES bushings....My cd player almost NEVER skips. Tell your friend to stop being a baby

Wurd !

 

I've been thinkign about doing this as well for the GSR....

Yes it is my daily driver, but I def have a loud exhaust on so how much worse could it be?

 

where is Dr poface (or whatever his name is) when ya need him?

 

people blow this outta proprtion by far, i have the Energy Susp lower inserts and the Prothane uppers and rear, race version . Yes they are solid, yes they vibrate the cabin and rattle pretty much all loose change in the car. Yes you can drown it out by using a thing called a radio and this revoltionary thing called music, i think it just came out or something .
Really its not that bad, i like mine alot better with em in , more control and keeps me from breaking trannues and keeps my **** where its supposed to be

LOL, his car vibrated like crazy!
But very little to no wheel hop

 

Just get the ES inserts. You'll get A LOT better feel rather than stock inserts and lose minimal comfort. The stock rubber mounts are super soft for comfort reasons not performance and the ES inserts are a great upgrade that is much harder than stock but much less vibration than Jim Fab solid mounts. What ever you do you must put them in as a set. If you do just the front two it will vibrate alot and you will blow the back mount out fairly quick.

 

If you decide to use Prothane on your DD then i would highly suggest using the street insert opposed to race. Vibration at idle, but no rattle or wheel hop.
prothane

Werid, mine was worse with the street insert....seems the race stopped it from moving more...

 

did anyone have a lil notchiness in there shifting feel before the inserts? cuz sometimes my gsr shifts quite notchy, or crappy quality. i think it may be i need of some mounts. what do you think?
