Hasport's EKK Mount Kit is expertly designed for 96-00 Civic owners aiming to upgrade to a K-series engine while utilizing the stock subframe. This innovative solution ensures a bolt-in installation with the engine positioned slightly forward in the engine bay compared to the DC2 subframe alternative. This placement is optimal for the swap, offering enhanced clearance and precise axle alignment.

Upgrading to a more powerful engine demands mounts capable of handling the increased performance. Hasport's EKK Mount Kit is essential in this regard, as it effectively prevents traction loss and eliminates wheel hop, allowing you to fully utilize the enhanced power of your Civic.

For those considering the Hasport Mount Kit designed for the DC2 subframe, refer to the EKK2 model.

Transmission Compatibility:

• EKK1: Compatible with RSX and 02-11 Civic Si manual transmissions.
• EKK3: Designed for 03-07 Accord and 04-08 TSX manual transmissions.
• EKK6: Suitable for 08-13 Accord, 09-14 TSX, and 12-15 Civic Si manual transmissions, as well as K-series CRV and Element AWD or FWD manual transmissions.

Bushing Stiffness Options: Hasport offers engine mounts in four urethane hardness levels: 62A, 70A, 88A, and 6061 solid aluminum.

• 62A polyurethane is ideal for street cars, offering a ride quality close to stock with minimal vibration transfer.
• 70A polyurethane suits those who occasionally take their build to the track.
• 88A, the stiffest option, is tailored for dedicated track vehicles.
• Solid 6061 aluminum mounts are available for extreme track-focused builds.

Remember, stiffer bushings mean more vibration transfer to the chassis. Higher durometer bushings are typically not recommended for street cars as they can increase strain on other vehicle components.
