Default motor mounts

Any opinions? Mine are starting to go, don't know if I should replace with Honda or if there's a benefit to going with an aftermarket pair, like Innovative. I don't mind additional vibration if it's worth it.

Thoughts?

well...i don't care how they look. at all.

would you still recommend it? i mean, stock mounts hold the engine in place as well.

what difference is there in driving feel, if any?

stock mounts dont hold the engine.. have u seen the engine move back and forth.. with the innovative it holds it firmly and has little to no movement, which = easier shifting, smoother engagement, and power to wheels faster; since hte power isnt lost in the movement of hte engine.

ok, thanks. sounds like an improvement. you installed them yourself? anything i need to know?

what do you mean "stock mounts dont hold the engine.."? technically, they do - you mean they're not as stiff as aftermarket, i presume?

exacly, they hold the engine but they have flex so the ride isn't ruff..
I installed them, a lift is better, u will need a few people so they can push the engine in place while u try to bolt it down...

Be careful with motor mount/inserts. Most aftermarket mounts typically make soooo much more cabin noise, not enough performance to make it worth while either. Not sure about these mounts just be advise of the possible side affects.
