I am doing a b-series swap in my 00 ex next week, and got a set of the ES motor mount insterts. I was told by a few people that I should not install the rear (tranny?) mount because it will make the inside of the car shake and rattle at idle and stops.

Is this true, and should I only do the front?

 

i have all 3 of them installed and it rattles pretty bad. didn't take too long to get used to the vibrations. car feels much better with the inserts. the rear mount was a biatch to install but well worth it.

 

- Mounts are easy with the motor out. put em' in
- You will like them. the rattle isn't that bad once you are used to it and they settle in
- The tranny mount is the hardest only if the motor is in the car (do them with it out)

The rear mount is the one that makes the biggest difference. You want it in there. Putting it in while the motor is out is going to save you a lot of cursing.

 

What I am worried about is the vibration becoming so annoying that I would want to switch back to stock, which, as you have all mentioned requires a lot of effort. But, I guess I'll take my chances, since I'm not opposed to sacrificing comfort for performance. Plus, I spend very little time at stoplights. :D
