Would hasports be enouph in a eg with a ITR swap, or would you sikaflex the oem torque mounts to if your serious about street and strip?
Also does anyone know whats the best way to fill the oem mounts with the sikaflex if they are broken like "Alex's", mounts in the photo?
hasports are more than enough for a eg with a itr swap.
I personally have and many others have "sikaflexed" the oem mounts (not cracked) and with good results.
You cant really fix the mounts shown by alex They are rooted.
I strongly suggest you fine OEM DC2R front torque mounts - they are encapsulated by a metal casing (note alex's are not - just HALF a metal casing) and use them. DC2R ones are stronger and better for filling too
Note - to use DC2R FRONT torque mounts on a EG , you will have to drill or shave off the OEM mount plates , ,located on the underside of the chassis rail where the oem torque mounts sit
i got the hasport 62a... and the etra vibration i got was ridiculous... i know Dean DL001 has said that he didn't feel much vibration with these same things, to me it seems i was given the wrong ones going by what he has said...
My steering wheel and dash vibrated quite heavily, and have only settled slightly after 6-12 months and maybe 5000 kms of street driving...
The feel it adds to the "connectedness" of the car is fantastic, but i still think it was overkill for a street car...
im going to spend a day in the next months ripping everything out from the dash and using low grade loctite to get rid of most of the rattles
you should DIY document the removal process and which bolts you tightened to successfully eliminate dash rattle.

Why oh why do people refer to Spoon and Mugen parts as the be and all of upgrades? They do not manufacture their parts, they're branded. You may as well simply use the part that they are using (rebranded) from their supplier and use it for less $$ ..
Its like the old Mazda 323 & Ford Laser. Same car, parts through Ford cost a fortune. Parts through Mazda on the other hand (as they on sold the parts to Ford) were a lot cheaper..
Do your research is all I'm saying, Spoon is just a brand.
