Thought I could share..After doing some track driving with the Hasport 88A motor mounts and diff mounts, I am very satisfied. I probably wouldnt recommend for a daily use on the street but car felt great with these... especially since my passenger mount was broken.

Does anyone have input on the Mugen mounts? From what I have read, they are fluid filled like oem, but the mount angle differs. I'm guessing the difference in angle decreases movement. It also appears they are rated to be stiffer than oem, similar to Spoon mounts. The fluid damping with a higher hardness rating make it seem ideal for a street car.

I would give Scott at King Motorsports a call about them. I personally went with Spoon mounts because they came with a transmission mount and cost about the same as Mugen. RHDJapan has the best price on either brand.
Durometer rating that I found when researching these 2:
- OEM durometer 55
- Spoon mounts 70
- Mugen might be 65

I pulled the trigger on the Mugen mounts. I'll report back once they're installed.

Same, went with Spoon from RHD. Fully broken in and hardly notice the NVH.

I have installed the Mugen engine mounts and I took the car for a quick canyon drive up ACH (Hwy 2). It felt good to be able to shift and rev match without grinding or missing a gear. The car vibrates more at idle and the vibrations resonate into the cabin. The car vibrates most significantly when warming up. It's as if the low frequency vibrations from the exhaust are now more pronounced. I can also feel my butt vibrate a tad. I was expecting an oem idle with a stiffer, more solid, shift feel. The shifts do feel more precise and solid, but nothing too major. The mounts met my expectations, minus the extra vibration. Overall I'm a happy camper. I still have yet to install the transmission mounts that came with it. I assume it will just add a tad more NVH.
