FL5 Civic Type R Rear Motor Mount Guide: NVH, Fitment, and Options

Thanks

What about durability?

I recall reading somewhere that Poly is no as durable as EPDM, and that Poly starts tighter but degrades quicker

I believe that because of that, at least one brand offers replacement Poly bushings

At the time, when I knew less than nothing, that was what made me buy the PRL

Now that I know slightly more, I am questioning my decision…

In terms of durability, pretty much all the brands mentioned do well (PRL long-term data is limited) since we can go based on how well they've held up from the release of the FK8. The only mount I know that has issues is the Cusco pitch stopper and that one was designed for race use(90A duromteter).

There is another hardrace USA website has price listed, I may try it later this month or early next year lol

Spoon sells it as a set because they can make each mount individually softer than a single rear mount but still offer less engine movement and NVH than a single mount would otherwise cause. They also do it that way because it fits with their "complete" tuning philosophy. The Spoon mount kit is also less likely to raise eyebrows at a dealership because the body of the mount looks very similar to the OE mount.

If you want only the Spoon rear mount you have to buy the Hardrace rear mount. Hardrace is the OEM supplier for both J's Racing and Spoon when it comes to motor mounts. Hardrace almost never has the individual mount in stock though.
