Default ES motor mounts

Ok, heres the skinny. I was thinking about buying a set of the ES motor mounts since i have to replace my rear one i was thinking hey might has well throw the insert in there since the rear one is the pita of the 2. So tell me what you think.

The rear is not needed.

My engine makes 167 ft lbs of torque and the motor did not move on the dyno with only the front mount installed

see video http://satan.higginstribe.com/nov18dyno.mov

this has been covered many times

Same here, I just have the front mount in, and the difference is amazing. No more wheel hop, and it doesn't vibrate that bad at all.

ES mounts are just INSERTS that attach to the stock mounts. We're talking about not installing the rear INSERT as it provides unnecessary vibration on the car when the engine isnt under load

The front motor mount insert will reduce majority of movement... but after installing the rear motor mount, the car does not move as much when downshifting... it feels a lot more solid...

I have front left and right polyurethane filled,and rear urethane insert and i love it. Well worth it in my opinion. I trashed a tranny diff with stock accord ex rear mount. So the rear prelude mount with insert was first on my list.

both are most certainly needed if you want to launch without wheel hoop.

I think you should install both. They come as a set; they should be used as a set.

I don't really think the vibration w/ the rear is much at all.

I put both mine in when i upgraded the clutch and flywheel since the tranny was off anyway.... well i love the change, and the vibration isn't bad at all.... my girl even says it makes the car feel more alive during idle...

FWIW, the rear inserts aren't hard to install at all. Just pull the throttle body, and you've actually got more space to work than in the front . . . .
