Default B16 Engine mounts ?

Hello all

I have a '90 crx DX awaiting B16a with YS1 cable tranny. I need to get engine mounts asap.
First thing that comes to mind is HASport, but they are pricey.
Anyone has any experience with something called Avid Components Motor mount kit? They don't look as good as Hasport but definitely look sturdy enough. I guess they are a knock off of hasport but I'm worried about engine positioning in the bay. There's a nice deal on them and the shift linckage- so I'm thinking if I should get it.

Thank you for any advice. Much appreciated.

Gleb.

I don't know they don't look identical to the hasports to me. I'm sure the quality isnt identical either

they look like the old-school hasport mounts.....which are welded steel instead of forged aluminum = prone to breaking under load......but for 150....well i can stand em...

Thanks for advice everyone..

Seems to me that everyone is comparing stuff to Hasport. Might as well go with a benchmark.
Just got a quote from Place Racing- $446. Ouch. That's even more then hasport - why?
