You don't replace your engine mounts with a ETd you just install the ETD :P.
I got a J's racing one, Doesn't do nothing :P engine looks like there's less movement in it but nothing you can feel.

So your saying that this wonderfull JDMness only left your pocket a little lighter, and had no or little benefit to the car?

I believe it does it's job!, it's noticable once you remove it. Yet not that notiable when you install it.

i know that im after both motor mounts and an etd. i need the motor mounts as my current ones are wearing out and figured id fit an etd along with my next round of mods.

Yea my butt dyno sucks thats prob why I don't notice any diffrence with any of my mods. I actually have taken it off while on the track as I was getting some sick vibrations I thought that might be the case but it was my brakes :P Metal on metal haha.

I didn't buy mine it was a birthday present so yea :P
what engine mounts will you be getting?

abt the engine mount
i reckon INNOVATIVE MOUNT kit, seems they dun have billet mounts for s2000, only the steel one. you can choose on 4 different stiffness, and they all have a life time warranty

by installing the ETD, you almost cannot feel anything...but theres an noticeable improvement of engine responding by changing the stiffer engine mounts..

the stiffer the mounts, the more vibrations that resonate into the cabin. these are street/track with a durometer of 75.

how much they charge you for shipping to Australia?

the total price for the mounts shipped was 466AUD. It from from ebay vendor lsd_motorsports. i also purchased an NRG torque damper from them and they did me a deal on shipping :D

the price is ok, so you plan to change the engine mounts and install the ETD same time?

the ETD can be a waste after you change a stiffer engine mount...

yup. i had a feeling that might be the case, but i got it for a decent price so i figured it was a good time to do it all.

ill post up a review once the parts are in

Thought I'd revive this.

Interested in the 75A's also but dont want anything too stiff.

Are innovative the best option?

Or is a Spoon/Mugen approach better as they specialise in Honda.

No takers?

Im leaning towards just getting some OEM replacement ones....

They are oil filled and are pretty comfortable.

mates running them they're awesome but if your scared of vibration then they are not for you.
