Default Spoon or oem?

I found a set of spoon motor mounts and not sure if i want them or not... Im just wondering if anyone knows how rough they are im looking to keep an almost stock feel but have absolutely no clue how spoon motor mounts will be... My friend had hasport motor mounts on a h22 hatch and it was really rough dont really want that, so if anyone can help i would really appreciate it...

Just get oem then, spoon mounts are probably stiff as hell and it's only going to be a conversation piece anyways..

Plus it's not like you'll see them unless you and everyone you tell that you have them "looks" for them..

He wont need to point anything out other than his dash and steering wheel shaking.

seriously i DONT think the spoons are going to be as retarded stiff as everyone is making them out to be. keep in mind spoon is very objective and goal oriented for track functionality. i have the innovative 75A solid mounts and its not even that bad and completely daily'able. seriously the biggest bitch was putting them on. and im being very honesty, not pulling anyone's leg here.

one more thing. i have hasports on my k series dc2 and my b series turbo dc2 and they are great. haters going to hate :FACEPALM:

I'm no hater. I had 75A's on my DC5 and after long trips my hands would start to get a little numb (kinda like when you ride a motorcycle). You could also see my steering wheel vibrate from outside the car. I'm not saying I didn't love it, I'm just saying that you wont need to point out the actual item to anybody because they will know from the effects

If you don't install the mount correct(bolt slightly at an angle) the car vibrates.if u do them tight and straight a 75a wont feel much stiffer then oem as far as vibrations.adding a etd may help also they seem to calm vibrations.i had 85a in my prelude and it was just a minor vibrarion after i made sure the bolts were center...prior it was like sitting on a giant vibrating massage chair.....or u could do the 65a(barely better then stock) but a solid poly so last longer.and if you hold out a bit hasport is coming out with mounts for us soon.spoke with brian over at hasport on facebook he said soon we should see j swap k swap and oem replacement mounts offered from them!
