Innovative 96-00 Civic K-Series Black Steel Mounts 85A Bushings (EG/DC Subframe)

This is the Innovative Mounts K-Series engine mount kit, designed specifically for the 1996-2000 Honda Civic EG and DC chassis when swapping in a K-series engine. These mounts are crucial for properly supporting your new K-series engine and drivetrain within the older chassis, ensuring everything stays securely in place during acceleration, braking, and cornering. The kit utilizes 85A durometer bushings, which offer a solid balance between vibration dampening and drivetrain rigidity, making it a popular choice for builds that see regular street use and occasional track time.

Constructed from strong black steel, these mounts are built to withstand the stresses of a K-series engine swap. The steel provides a solid foundation, and the black finish helps protect against corrosion. The 85A durometer bushings are a step up in stiffness from stock, which helps to reduce engine movement and improve throttle response by minimizing flex in the drivetrain. This means you'll feel a more direct connection to your engine, with less slop when you get on the gas or shift gears. The kit is designed to work with the EG/DC subframe, simplifying the installation process compared to universal mount kits.

When undertaking a K-series swap into an EG or DC chassis, proper engine mounting is one of the most critical steps. This kit from Innovative Mounts aims to make that process as straightforward as possible. It's important to note that with stiffer bushings like these, you may notice an increase in vibration transmitted to the cabin compared to stock mounts. However, for many enthusiasts, this is a worthwhile trade-off for the improved performance and stability they offer. Ensure you have the necessary tools and a solid understanding of engine swap procedures before beginning installation.
