    tallest compatable motor mounts?

    I'm running a raceskids plate and I probably only have 1/4 of an inch of clearance between the pan and the plate. The plate has saved me plenty of times, but I'm getting a tad worried of the amount of times I hit it, and I'm not even too low either.
    I'm running E34 stock mounts right now. My friend Jimmy (aka Dude) broke his E34 oil pan with a skid plate and he's running E28 mounts and his plate was touching his pan.
    Any ideas?

    I shimmed up my motor a bit. You can also put a spacer between the plate and your core support.

      this is a common issue, we install spacers on the skid plates. The washers that come on the earlier cars below the front seats are perfect.

        I used the revshift swap mounts (the softer blue "street" ones). They're awesome.

          Yeah I was thinking of putting a washer between the mount and the subframe
