I've searched over 5 forums and still can't find an answer on SR20det motor/transmission mounts. I'm stuck between JGS & nismo. I know some are good but it will cause vibration in cabin but what I'm wondering is, what if I have full poly energy susp. bushings? Will that factor with the cabin vibration? I know some people get two different brands (ie. JGS transmission mounts with nismo engine mounts) which makes sense to me because it probably works/feels better that way to some people but then, I've also read that it is not good to mix them and you should get one brand for both. So I was hoping if anybody can chime in on this and help me with my decision.
Opinions welcomed.

Don't do Nismo mounts. They raise the engine and it's one of the bad decisions I made with my car. Fan hits the upper shroud, so inside is totally messed up and melted plastic pieces everywhere in the engine bay and can't install regular strut tower bar. If I can do it again, I will reinforce OEM ones with urethane.

I almost forgot they raise the engine. Are you still running with them?

Unfortunately, yes. I really hate them.

I had Nismo mounts when I had my SR and never had any complaints or problems.. I have friends who ran them too without issues as well.

I would recommend them actually... those or the Drift Freaq mounts off zilvia..
