K-Swap Mount bushing question

Sorry if this has been covered before. I did use the search function but couldn't find anything useful.

While looking on Hasport website at there PDF file on how to install the mounts I noticed that they are using the OEM Bushes. I think transmission and left side engine bushes? I have looked at some pictures and it seems that hasport only supply the mount for the engine to sit on rather than a full engine mount/bush kit? Though I may be wrong here?


Picture from gettinafit


Though if this is the case, will aftermarket polyurethane bushes work in place of the OEM bushes instead just as usual? Just to keep the engine movement down with the added torque and power.

Sorry if this is a little bit of a stupid question to some of you. I am no mechanic and will not be doing the swap myself as I have a garage that can do the work. Just gathering some information etc

Thanks

Yea u dun wanna use the oem mounts as it is too soft
The oem bushings wil be come too worn n the engine might rock too much n hit the rad
I hVe 94A mounts and I love the feel of direct power transfer !

Awesome thanks guys. Really helpful! I assume the innovative bushings / mounts install as OEM would then bolt straight onto the hasport and so on?

@ whtsjdm

Thanks for the offer, at the moment I have a few other bits and pieces to get for the car mainly new pads, tires etc so don't have disposable money at the moment.

Hopefully your in no rush to sell them
