First the Pros and then the Cons

8 out of 10 stars for these babies.

PROS
When ever I would start off in traffic the whole car would lurch forward and then do it again for every shift. Finally I got sick of it and installed these mount inserts (http://www.prostreetonline.com/buy/prothane_motor_mount_inserts/). Holy *&^% what a difference. I can rev the engine to around 3k or 4k and let off the clutch almost to the point of popping it and nothing. Plus you get (in my opinion) way better throttle response. I have been trying to get it to lurch for the past week and nothing.

CONS
For every up there is a down. In order to get that tight feel you do have to give up some comfort. By that I mean you are going to feel the engine more, for some of you this will not be what you want driving to work everyday. Its not so bad that you cant feel hands after a drive(i.e. using a weedeater for an hour and your hands are numb), but it is really there. Now for the other 90% of you the feeling will be akin to snuggling that much closer to your significant other. I love the feel but some of you might not.

So in summation, if you want better throttle response, and you are tired of the the engine bouncing around, buy them. You can install them in an afternoon, even if your new to the whole working of cars things you really should not have too much trouble. But if you like a quieter ride with less feedback from the engine and the road, these may not be for you.

Hope it helps. If you have any questions about installing them feel free to PM me. I will be glad to help.

+1 on what he just said. one thing that i noticed on my d15b8 was that when i had all of them installed it would vibrate my dash like my cd player would almost want to fall apart... so i took out the rear mount and it barely vibrates now. I still have the engine and transmission mounts still in and the engine feels really really solid, doesnt hardly move at all...

plus mine is a 5th gen, no real difference in the motors

Thanks for heads up rice.. i was about to order these for my new hatch.. so not putting in the rear only sounds good to still gain stiffness without major discomfort

I did all three, but I was putting them in a 98 civic ex. My dash doesn't vibrate any more than it used to. Could that be because of the model difference? I have also been very generous with the dynamat.

probably

so, how was the install?

Pretty easy IMO. The hardest part was getting them back in and lined up with everything else. Just use a prybar or something to move them around, and they will finally get where they need to be. It pays to have a vise handy to press the inserts into the mounts. You really dont want to try it with out one.

Hope it helps.

if you have some jack stands and a jack they are pretty easy to do...

Does it matter much if you do the tranny mounts too? Is this the part number: 8-1902 ?

I HAVE THEM ON A 96 EX AND THEY DONT VIBRATE MAYBE A GOT LUKY!!! AND I LOVE THEM THE ENGINE FEELS BETTER AT TAKE OFF'S
