I learned the hard way that if u plan to drive your car on the street that you can only go with oem motor mounts. All aftermarket mounts even in the softest durmeter will still vibrate like crazy and be very unbearable to drive on a daily basic.
I use to have the hasport 62a motor mounts and after a month I couldn't stand them any more and put new oem mounts in.
I have a loud full 3 inch exhaust and I have been slamed lowered before and I can't life with aftermarket motor mounts.
I have has hasports and many after market mounts on my other cars such as my Evo and integra. They do vibrate more but are livable. But for the s2000 no aftermarket motor mount is livable.

I love the Hasport mounts on my S2k. I got the street/60A durometer. The key to making them livable is to increase the idle speed to 950rpms. Below that, and everything shakes like a mofo. But at 950rpms, everything smooths out, though you definitely know the mounts are in there mostly due to the noise (solid aluminum on the subframe, so no rubber to absorb the noise).

Also not only the fact that the vibration with any aftermarket motor mount the vibration is crazy unbearable that's not the worst part. The worst part is the sound. After installing the hasport 62a mounts the sounds in the cabin is so crazy loud. It's like as if your sitting inside the engine bay. With my crazy loud 3inch full turbo back exhaust I can't even hear my exhaust drone on the freeway. All I hear is the sound of the engine. I kid you not it's really like as if your sitting in the engine bay. The sound really is that bad.
If your car is not a full out race/track car stay away from any aftermarket motor mounts for the s2000.

I wonder if it's an AP1 vs. AP2 thing with the AP2 possibly having more insulation? On my AP2, the Hasport mounts are quieter than any aftermarket exhaust I've heard on a S2k. To me, they add just enough volume where you can actually hear the engine whereas with a completely stock car, the stock intake is the loudest thing.

I would love to know how the vibratechnics compare with the hardrace/megans. I took out the hardrace mounts because they vibrated too much and were too loud for my liking. Keep in mind I prefer a quiet stock car and don't have intake or exhaust mods.
