Innovative 96-00 Civic H-Series Black Steel Mounts 85A Bushings

These black steel engine mounts from Innovative Mounts feature 85A durometer bushings, a solid choice for your 1996-2000 Honda Civic when swapping in an H-series engine. The 85A durometer rating means these bushings are stiffer than stock, which helps to significantly reduce engine movement under acceleration and braking. This improved stability can lead to a more direct feel from the drivetrain and better power transfer to the wheels.

Constructed from well-built black steel, these mounts are designed to handle the increased stress that comes with performance engine swaps. The steel construction offers a strong foundation, while the 85A bushings are chosen to balance vibration reduction with drivetrain rigidity. This setup is popular for Civic owners looking to upgrade their engine and drivetrain performance, providing a noticeable improvement in how the car feels during spirited driving.

When installing these mounts, expect a more direct connection between the engine and chassis. While this offers performance benefits, it can also transmit more engine vibration into the cabin compared to stock mounts. This is a common characteristic of stiffer mounts and is often considered a worthwhile trade-off for the improved performance and handling they enable.
