    M20 Mount options, looking to raise a little bit.

    Looking for any engine mounts that you guys recommend, and looking to raise the pan a little bit. Looks like I want to go a little lower then my eibach pro kit, and I do not want to risk my pan. Normally I wouldnt care so much, but with the welded return line, id rather not risk it.

    I have done hockey pucks on my vw. They losen up if you do not keep an eye on them, but other then that worked fine for a year or so. Since I actually like my e30 I would rather do it right.

    Understand that raising the engine is going to introduce a drive shaft mis-alignment, which can result in early failure of the guibo, CSB, or u-joints. The mention of a welded return line sounds like a turbo and the additional power is going to very hard on a mis-aligned drive shaft.

    Perhaps it would better to install a robust skid plate.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
