Seeing as you said TRX, I'm assuming its still KA powered?

SSS is the guy that did do them though not sure he still does.

I bought a set off him that I put in however as the U12 is no longer driven will be removing them to sell.

Hopefully should be out over the next couple of weeks

Regardless on where you get them from, they are well worth it.  ;)
Ill fight you. May even throw a bar of soap your way. Maybe a few wax strips and some clip on brembo brake calipers for your fooly sic civic.

Good

Engine movement significantly reduced resulting in less power loss (especially with the way KA's rock).

You'll feel a difference in power delivery.

Really hard to crack so pretty much say goodbye to constantly changing cracked mounts.

Bad

Solid over rubber = less vibration absorption so you'll feel it in the cabin. It will feel similar to a cracked mount. You get used to it and is well worth it.

If you have a high power/high torque engine = More stress for components connected to the mounts particularly weak welded parts but by this stage chassis strengthening should on the list.

If your mounts are cracked you might as well get the solid ones to replace.
As suggested, they will put more stress on other items, particular one to keep an eye on is the under engine cross member (where it bolts under firewall).  But you should be fine, and wont be replacing them again in a hurry.

If you have an auto I wouldnt bother though.
