So I have really bad wheel hop. Well I looked into the Jimfab bars and what not. With my intercooler piping I don't think it will work. I want to get some motor mounts and wanted some advise and personal reviews from you guys. Where did you get yours? What brand? How much? .....thanks

I'm using Energy Suspension urathane mounts on my car. They come in two colors, either black or red. Once they're in, you'll feel a little more vibration in the car since the motor isn't jiggling back and forth as much. Cost on them is under $70 bucks (seems like they were like 50-60 bucks or so). I can actually get them for you if you decire...just gotta call on the pricing. PM me if you want me to price them for ya.

Actually did a little search for them and they're even cheaper than I expected....

Link to the mounts to buy them ($35.00):

Erik, on uyour car the setup I would do is Jim Fab 3 mount set (The front lowers and the Rear). I would then get HASport drivers side and passenger side mounts. The HASport mounts are nice looking and you can get both JimFab and HASport mounts in soft compounds like 60A-62A.

I have seen pics your car so for the visible mounts HASPort is the way to go for appearance and the Jim Fab is the way to go for cost.

Be prepared for additional vibration.

Surprisingly, some people that had only the 2 JimFab torque mounts said that adding a rear mount or even having all 5 mounts helped to reduce vibrations some.

www.hasport.com, www.jimfab.com and try emailing adrian@hybridgarage.com and telling him I sent you for Hasport mounts to get a good price quote.

Most common 5 mount setups were front lowers and rear JimFabs with upper front HASport. Or, front lower JimFabs and upper front and rear HASports. HASports and JimFabs are both complete mounts.

Lots of good posts on HondaTech if you search "jimfab" and "hasport."
