Default Engine damper? Recommendations?

Should be a legal mod for my class in autocrossing. Anyone have any experience with any of them? Recommendations for my 2000 Honda Civic Si?

Thanks!
Mike

I've seen them for SR20's, not much for Honda's...

I haven't had any experience, but the shop I used to go to had them in stock...

What this little thing will do is lessen the motion of the engine (sort of like motor mount bushings) and prevent excess rocking of the engine to send more power to the ground.

Thanks for the web site.

my motor doesn't move AT ALL!

I doubt that i'd benefit much from this.
where does it mount on the chassis?
