    Motor mount/spacers? Need to raise engine.

    My car has BFI stealth mounts in it now, which from what I understand are shorter than factory mounts. I am getting serious axle bind (im not that low) as well as oil pan scraping on unnecessary things.

    Aside from going back to factory motor mounts, are there aftermarket mounts that are higher? Or any way to add spacers to the current mounts to raise the engine to help my axle bind?

    thanks in advance.

    I think raising the engine and possibly a frame notch will do the trick, Im just wondering the best way to go about it. Nothing can happen anyway until I move. I scrape my speedbumps every day at this height :rollseyes:

    i have the EuroImage 1" spacers. with a driverside Raxle. Passenger side is Stock. it my second oem axle. i just replaced when i did my frame notch. the 1st axles was the original. and the inner boot was torn for about a year. it never clicked. not once. so i just replaced it with another oem. still no clicking.

    if you just get the spacers it will help with the axle bind. but the OEM axle will give out sooner or later.
