Friend of mine just bought some shorter dog bones because he lowered his ride and thought that would help. It did some but his TOGS now hit the radiator. So he says he has to shime under the eninge now.

He is just having issues after lowering his ride. He has 20"s on it also. Just telling you what he is doing. I am selling those mounts but I did do the 90* stock rotation on the stock mounts a week ago. Have you done that? I am not sure what you are looking for out of mounts or vibrations???

I think it will be stiff as a rock but I don't see any problems regarding proximity of parts in the engine compartment.

Using both I meant. And I don't know if it's good or bad for the engine. Sorry.

Well one thing the stiffer poly mount will do save some wear and tear on your lower motor and trans. mounts as far as being detrimental to the engine no they should'nt be,hotrodders have been using solid motor mounts for years if you do'nt mind fealing the engine vibration go for it.Chico.

well i installed the dog bones today. it moved the motor about an inch or so forward. so far it seems to imporve the shifting of the car... also the motor hardly moves when u push on the car

so im thinking that if i get the poly motor mounts it wouldnt create what some have said about the vibration...
