I sent almost this exact same message to HeelToe asking about their Innovative Motor Mounts, but Im also curious if anyone in the TSX community has tried any others and what the outcome was. I want a one, and done type motor mounts. I dont want to be replacing in another 60k miles. I have done a search on motor mounts but they have mostly turned up nothing or in the end the person went with OEM.

Lately I have been reserching motor mounts for my TSX. The stock ones that are on there have become weak and the vibrations are starting to come into the cabin and the wear marks on the header doughnut are having me think that the front and rear mounts are on their last days. But with no leaking of fluid from the mounts, I dont believe I need to be in any hurry. Having come from mostly an american vehicle background I started looking for polyurethane (sp) type mounts. So far I have not found any for the TSX. OEM is always a good choice but with my modifications adding over 60+ more HP to the wheels over stock im wondering if there is a better choice, not just from a money standpoint, but time. I plan on doing the mounts myself and from my research the front mount is going to be a PITA. Im looking for a more permanant mount that will keep the almost stock feel. At this point in the cars life its a street car and besides a few trips to the strip and aspirations of doing more auto cross racing this upcoming year, its going to remain that way for quite sometime. I need a motor mount that will last and be as comfortable as stock with the possiblity of improving performace. Have you had any personal experience with these Innovative Mounts? How much stiffer are they compared to stock mounts? Is the price for all motor mounts? Is there anything else you might suggest for my particular application? Also, is adding an ETD an inexpensive way to extend the life of a typical motor mount?
Sorry for all the questions, just trying to learn a little more every day. Learning now, saves money later
