Hi all,
Just after you opinions, as you know I have got a problem with my cv's rubbing on my frame horns and have posted this in another post and now have just looked at the solid trannie mounts and noticed they come in a 1 inch height. I need to replace the front gearbox mount anyway as the thread and studs that are there (only 1) and started thinking about the pros and cons of both situations. Got to remember this is a street car with occasional drag action if it ever happens here in SA.
Negs
1) I would have to edit my turbo manifold by 1 inch lower to make it fit under the frame horns as it is tucked right up under them.
2) would bring my already turbo, rocker covers, aircleaner box up higher and require me to cut more of the body away and re mount the aircleaner pipe which I just had made.
3) Require my exhaust system to be even shorter than it is (under 2 foot long)
4) Would give me less room for mounting stuff above the gearbox.
I am sure there is more and this is why I am asking
Positives
1) Would clear my cv's on my frame horns and this is a good thing as I have to take it through transport to have it passed and worried about them talking about structural changes etc.
2) Would clear my injector stacks in the engine bay of the little spanner shelves on either side of the engine and I would not have to modify
So I was thinking which would be the best way to go?
Thanks for your help,

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
