If you guys are considering upgrading your engine mounts...

Update:
I have had the Innovative 75A mounts installed for less than a year, some of it on the track. Recently I could tell that something was obviously wrong -- vibration and engine sag on the right side.
I decided to order some 65A bushes and try them out before going over to the Hardrace mounts. so today I took out the 75A bushes (blk) and replaced them with the red 65As. The 75a bushes were some POS crappy polyurethane pieces that totally sagged and ended up deformed and misshapen. No wonder my car was vibrating so much. BTW the 65A bushes are very much like the OEM Honda mounts as far as I can tell so far. JFYI Here are some pics of the 75a bushes that I removed: (click on the pics for a better view)
The pics are from the passenger (torque) side motor mount.

Hope it works out. But they don't have a good track record.

Ya, I had forgotten that you have to take the Innovative mounts out in order to change the bushings. Otherwise I would already have had the Hardrace mounts in my garage to put on. I'm not even going to bother trying to get warranty from Innovative. Bummer. Maybe the 65As will hold until I can order the HRs. The OEM mounts didn't hold up on the track, either, and I don't have near the hp/tq that some of you guys have.

Those Hardrace mounts look very promising. I think I'll be going with those.

Hardrace ones look very similar to the Megan ones or the Megan ones look very similar to the Hardrace units 
. Found a thread somewhere that says the same company makes the mounts.

Hardrace makes the mounts for Megan. I have the Megan version. Only difference is Megan slapped a sticker on them(which was half falling off when I got them lol)
