KA, SR, CA mounts all work.. the difference is the CA mounts i belive allow the motor to sit lower, and therefore will have a better clearance for a strut bar. i am running KA mounts on mine. the KA and SR are identical..

The Ca mounts will place the motor correctly. Nismo makes ca specific motor mounts.

KA, SR, and CA mounts are not identical, all of them have small hight differences but you can use any of them, the engine will just sit a little lower or higher depending on which ones you use. Driveshaft will line up as long as its a manual, non-ABS shaft.
