They were a little taller than my old sagging oem mounts, probably not much if any taller than new ones.
I'm worried about my crossmember. I see no cracks, but I have stiffer than stock mounts, a car with ~200,000mi on it, and the added stress of more than twice stock power output. I should probably drop it and weld plates in some day, it's just not an easy job to do in a driveway.

I have a spare cross member somewhere I plan to reinforce when I get the chance, but for now I just hope it holds.
