Got the xe engine in that im using for mockup but ran out of mig wire gutted . Also had to order some gearbox mount spacers as i never used them last time but motor needs to go across about 15 mm to passangers side.

Tip it forwards to get extra lowness!
It also levels out your driveshaftsOriginally Posted by BRoadGhost
I've added a fair bit of lean to my engine, just lowered the front mounts by 35mm
That's not the final mounting method btw

Nono what I mean is raise the engine up & tip it forwards so you can get the body lower!
I recently made new mounts for mine and looked at raising the diff too. Mine was a quick fix so couldn't be done, but if i was at this stage I would.
The body will need to be raised if anything pal to take the huge tyres .was only using 10x22 inch tyres before and struggled with 5 dr wings .
Going for drift arches i think with new wheels and chopping the wings
Heard alot about leaning motors forward when i was working for a rally shop years ago . What are the gains just been to get the bits today to build my mounts in the morning . Im using the aftermarket bushed mounts but in a diffrent way to how they are ment to be used . Pics to follow
No gain on a drag car with sensible ride height. Tipping it forward lifts the diff up so straightens the shaft angle. That's the only advantage i can think of on a racer but far from ideal without modifying other parts.
Yes a relatively large amount of work with mounts & exhaust, but it means the biggest limiting factor of ride height: driveshafts, is overcome.
Whats an exhaust ? Lol
