Default Avid Racing Mounts

ok, tonight i purchased a b16 complete swap for my 91 civic project, (bout freakin time) i didnt want to pay for hasport mounts and billet alumimum i hear isnt good for large power applications... i also got avid racing mounts, i did some research but im in need of opinions, the things i was able to find was that avid mounts use steel around polyurethane bushings and transmit no vibration to the dash at all from what they say also instead of having to cut and replace they bolt right in to the stock place and are better for all motor apps with high hosepower
hasport uses billet alumimum and poly bushings, not as strong and are better for street apps....now it made no sense to me
i know that hasport is just a brand but which in you guys opinion would be better?

Hasport all the way. It is what I am running in my race car. Interested to see what these Avid mounts look like. Do you have a link to their website???

no, no, i did some research on the company and its just a new company , the diffrence is that these mounts supposedly bolt right into stock place then you weld it to hold better, but i should be getting them either later today or tomorrow here is a link to a picture of the mounts http://www.mmrusa.com/avid.htm
all it is, they are a new company and instead of using billiet alum, they use steel and polyurethane
plus it comes with a 100% lifetime warranty, so ill try them, steel has got to be better for stability right?
