Does any one have the Hardrace FL5 rear motor mount(torque rod)? Wanted to know people's opinions or reviews. Thanks

I purchased one from @B16B

He had it on and liked it. I have not installed it on my car just yet. However from what I understand it's pretty much the Spoon mount.

Curious to see how it compares to the PRL

It works, but expect some increased NVH like every other upgraded mount.

I have the Prl now. It works but you feel the increased NVH on cold starts and especially when the A/C is on. Was trying to see if the alternatives like the Hard race or Wunderladen Racing were a little better.

The Hardrace mount is slightly softer but that's because it was designed to be a part of a system that includes the 2 side engine mounts as well. The difference between the 2 is nominal.

I've heard the Wunderladen mounts handles NVH very well but I can't confirm how true that is.

The best way to reduce NVH with a rear motor mount is actually to get Spoon Rigid Collars.

The PRL mount is nice and probably the most popular. Install some rigid collars and you will notice less NVH especially with the A/C on.

I will definitely be looking into the rigid collars

We installed a Wunderladen Racing RMM and Spoon Rigid Collars as well as Mugen lateral tie bars on a customer car and all NVH basically has been eliminated with this combination.

Thanks for the info appreciate it. I ordered the collars a few days ago.

Im wondering if there are any updates on this? Im considering to buy the hard race torque rod by itself. Would this stop the wheel hop and eliminate that 1st to 2nd gear crunch on high rpm shifts

It will reduce your wheel hop for sure, but there are other options out there that might be better like the Cobb rear motor mount.

Do you have a link to the Mugen part?

He might be referring to the Mugen dampers that are made by Yamaha: https://www.kingmotorsports.com/p-6036-mugen-fl1-fl5-civic-type-r-performance-damper.aspx
