Chris (Slide\_Junkie) has them in his S13, I was GOING to use them but ran out of money. I found that the R32 cross member made everything sit a little to close to my rad, and there was about 2 inches of space still to go between the firewall and my motor. > > I’ve found that with the McKinney mounts the motor sits slightly lower allowing all stock piping like the recirc. valve to clear without hitting the hood, allows for a beefyer strut bar, bigger rad and puller fan setup, easier for FMIC piping as for clearance (In my case my PS pump line was rubbing up against my stock rad), slightly adjusts the weight sitting on the cross member - although not much of a totally noticeable difference (Remember I drove mine all winter with stock struts and didn’t have a problem at all with braking and weight shifting) it still does help. Last but not least my most hated problem with mine was my steering column shaft rubbing against my turbo elbow. With the motor slightly lower and closer to the firewall, it allows the steering column to sit in a perfect pocket in the elbows bend without rubbing. > > Hope that helps Chris! > > For the money you paid, considering they’re MUCH more brand new, it’s totally worth it. > > EDIT: Make sure you get the McKinney tranny mount as well…I shouldn’t have to explain why lol. i was going to say the tranny mount lol --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/mckinney-mounts/126453)._
