Default Solid Motor Mounts - Manufacturers?
Got a set of Spohn solids. Very well made, but.....WTF is up with them being 4x taller than the OEM's? Got them installed and the headers are smashed up against the bottom of the floor pan and the motor is sitting way up in the engine bay. Nice...back down with the K frame and motor to pull these dreams out of the car. Called Spohn, they have no idea. They think they sold me the wrong parts. Is there anyone else selling solid motor mounts for our cars?

I did my spohn solid mounts and PA K at the same time so not sure which caused the issue but... something lifted the engine up about 1-2" everything cleared but still noticed it was higher

Have to use the stock k member. No mention of needing anything else when these mounts are used. Pretty dorked up.
