Innovative mounts or Hasport for H22 into CD5?

[dirtybird222]

I believe I've posted before about my 1994 Honda Accord Sedan Chumpcar. Our F22 has died (well the piston rings are fried - insert Fast and Furious scene about piston rings here) and we found a 1998 Prelude as a donor car for an H22 for cheap. As in $750 for the prelude as a running and driving car.

While the engine is being torn apart and refreshed I'm trying to decide on which mounts to go with. Hasports run a premium of about $400 and innovative is at $300 and some change. Obviously chump is a budget racing series; but, we had a mount break on us in the last race which also led to an axle failure and having to make shift and weld a motor mount to the chassis to keep racing so I'm just curious if you guys have any recommendations from experience with either brand.

And before you say "should have just rebuilt the F22...." We have already sold the spare parts and pieces of the Prelude and the shell for double what we've paid for it. So we really got an engine and the rebuild for free and can sell the tricked out F22 head for some $ too.

I don't have personal experience with either, but I tend to see a lot more people using hasport on swaps/builds. I've also seen hasport being used a number of times on tv shows where they're building or restoring a car. That's not to say one is better. I just tend to hear more people use hasport. Hopefully others can chime in.

I've used Hasport in the past on my DC2 an loved them. Plan on using them on the Si when the "time" is right.

I've read and heard good things about both brands. Has port seems to be the default go to option for most though.

I remember something about the hasport being only a couple of mounts whe the innovative were a full set when people were comparing them. I think there was also discussion of the hasports being available in singles and the innovative were full set only.

Might be a factor in deciding as well. Im not familiar with the innovatives but the hasports had replaceable urethane inserts which was nice. You could swap durometers too if needed. Thats all i know. The hasports seem more adaptable in that sense.

I know hasport is the go to, I just feel like they mark up their prices because of that and I'm not the kind of person to pay just because that's what all the tuner boyz are doing haha. We need a whole set after 32 hours of racing the crappy autozone mounts are non-existent lol.

Hopefully I don't get flamed here, but I have Boomba racing mounts, and I love them!

I have a set also. Only knock on those guys is they won't tell you what durometer urethane they use. The other companies give you a choice depending on how stiff you need it but Boomba for some reason keep it a secret.

I have read that the boomba mounts should be around a 75-80A. They also don't make mounts for as many cars as the other guys do.

Hasport is the go to because they are a high quality product. Not necessarily because of the popularity.

$10 for replacement urethane from hasport too!
