Do you have to remove the engine cradle and redo your alignment and all that to get these in, or can you kind of cheating wiggle them in there?
If you buy the lower the ones is there any downside for Street use, does it mess up the alignment of your exhaust system or anything else? It would seem to me it would provide some handling benefits to lower that weight down.

Lowering the engine 3/8" of an inch won't screw up the alignment of the motor to the tranny and diff in back (yay torque tube). The lower the motor the lower CG and thats always a good thing. That said buy the lower mounts only if you're sure you have necessary clearance. Engine damper, leaf spring, and oil pan are the places you might have clearance issues. Honestly if it's a street car the lower mounts are overkill. I run the lower mounts on my car to make room for a FAST 102 intake manifold. I also have a dry sump and our race mounts are narrower to make room for dry sump lines. But again I would only recommend the lower mounts if you need them and you're aware of your clearances.

3 months after I bought them I finally got to have them installed in conjunction with headers and some other maintenance stuff last week. I REALLY, really like them. My car is a street car only, but the increased directness in the car is so great. There absolutely is increased NVH and significant vibration at idle and taking off from a stop, but that was expected. Would definitely recommend.

Thanks for the feedback Chris. Glad you like them! If you'd be so kind as to leave that review in the website I'd really appreciate it.

as for the lower versions, i'm looking to run a 3/8" plenum spacer on my supercharger, so lower mounts would be required for necessary hood & windshield cowl clearance. how tight is it on the oil pan, suspension, headers, & balancer? i'm also looking at maybe running an 8rib accessory drive with a 10% OD crank.
