Mount Spacers?

Mount Spacers?
Has anyone on here installed a full set of mount spacers?
I have a set going on soon with some homemade solid mounts with my AGX/Vogtland setup.
I also have an 2" intercooler and TOGs with a 3" downpipe. Wondering if anyone has run into issues?

assuming you mean the engine and trans mounts, I haven't used them but if you go with w-body.com solid mounts you shouldn't need them.
They aren't really big either so I don't see why you'd have an issue

I am going to need the spacers because both my axles are blown out and are getting replaced when I do the mounts. It could be just because they are old but I don't want to take the chance on it being because of the lowering of the car.
I am just wondering if anyone has installed a a full set with and 3" downpipe and intercooler without having hood clearance issues.

I have read that lowering the vehicle does alter the geometry and can lead to premature wear of the suspension and steering components. The downpipe and intercooler shouldn't be a problem with hood clearance, but the mount spacers might be. Maybe ZZP can tell you how thick they are so you know how much higher the engine will sit. Then take a piece of modeling clay and sit it on the top of the engine. Close the hood, open it and measure the thickness of the clay. That will tell you if there's enough room to use the spacers and not have hood interference.

I will just have to install them and find out. I will report back with my findings when I do. I am hoping they just fit without any clearance issues. I figure since I am installing PRJ rails in place of my modded stockers, I won't have a clearance issue because the PRJs don't go over the top of the blower.
