Upgrade your Honda CR-Z drivetrain with the Innovative Mounts Steel Replacement Engine Mount Kit (11550), designed for 2011–2015 Honda CR-Z ZF chassis applications equipped with the factory LEA-series 1.5L hybrid engine and either a six-speed manual or CVT transmission.

Engineered to improve drivetrain stability, reduce excessive engine movement, and provide increased durability compared with aging factory rubber and hydraulic mounts, this performance-oriented three-piece replacement kit is an excellent upgrade for daily-driven vehicles, modified street cars, autocross builds, and track-focused Honda CR-Z applications.

Factory Honda engine mounts are designed primarily to isolate engine vibration and maintain passenger comfort. Over time, original rubber and fluid-filled mounting components can deteriorate, crack, leak, or separate, allowing excessive engine and transmission movement during acceleration, deceleration, and shifting.

Excessive drivetrain movement can contribute to wheel hop, reduced throttle response consistency, unwanted vibration from damaged mounts, and additional stress on surrounding components. These issues may become more noticeable in modified applications where increased engine output places additional demands on the factory mounting system.

Innovative Mounts addresses these limitations with durable steel mounting assemblies and specially engineered polyurethane bushings. The upgraded design helps maintain more consistent engine and transmission positioning under load, reducing drivetrain deflection and improving overall driving response.

The Innovative Mounts 11550 includes replacement mounts for the driver-side, passenger-side, and rear mounting positions. By upgrading all three locations together, the kit provides a coordinated mounting solution rather than replacing only one worn factory component.

Unlike conventional factory rubber or hydraulic mounts, Innovative Mounts' performance-oriented polyurethane bushings provide a firmer connection between the drivetrain and chassis. The company's unique no-tear bushing design is engineered to control engine movement while providing vibration isolation appropriate to the selected bushing hardness.

Each mount is CAD/CAM designed and stress analyzed for strength, durability, and precise fitment. The kit is designed as a direct bolt-in replacement for compatible factory mounting locations, requiring no hood trimming or notching.

Available in multiple polyurethane bushing hardness options, the Innovative Mounts 11550 allows enthusiasts to select the appropriate balance between everyday driving comfort and performance-oriented drivetrain rigidity.

Whether you're replacing worn factory mounts on your Honda CR-Z, improving drivetrain stability in your six-speed manual model, or upgrading a modified LEA-powered hybrid performance build, the Innovative Mounts 11550 provides the strength, durability, and drivetrain control needed for demanding applications.
