hmm i wonder if ESP just had a bad batch of bushings from their supplier..I too wondered about the small gap inside, but it doesnt seem to be effecting me.
The metal part of their mounts are fine, if the bushings are causing problems thats an easily addressable problem since the mounts are user serviceable, just order some new T-bushings or make a jig to keep the sleeve centered and cast your own. The nylon bushing is also a great idea and easily implemented by a DIYer..to me the other brand seemed more flash then function and id rather have steel holding the engine then aluminum. if it was the apocalypse one could even mold some nice inserts from plastic grocery bags lmao.

The Prothane bushings put the bushing in compression still. Its a tight squeeze to install them. So when in full jounce load the rebound side of the bushing hasn't separated from the metal. The ESP mounts the center metal piece will just fall out of the bushing and the bushings will just fall out of the mount.'93 H22A 5SPD SE - MRT - DIY-Turbo Sizing

And Prothane bushings are almost plastic and the ESP ones super soft with too much damping so they tend to deform from that.'93 H22A 5SPD SE - MRT - DIY-Turbo Sizing

Mike, Rilas just found out that Innovative will test fit a torque mount to their traction bar if someone will bring their CB or Prelude to the shop in Orange County. We are a step closer to having a bracket on this thing!*** Think of others before thinking of yourself. ***
