Using this mount kit is a great way to enhance your vehicle's performance. First, make sure this kit is the right fit for your 2002 - 2005 Honda Civic Type - R or 2002 - 2006 Acura RSX with a K - Series motor and manual transmission. It's best to have a mechanic or automotive specialist install it for you. Once installed, the mounts are not returnable if they've been bolted down and show bolt impressions. As for maintenance, the durable powder - coat finish means it can withstand normal wear and tear. Keep an eye on the bushings, but with the unique no - tear design, they should last a long time. You might feel a bit of vibration, which is normal and depends on your engine. The stiffer mounts without fluid are meant to reduce wheel hop and improve driving response, so enjoy the better performance of your car!
