Well they are in now, and i am wondering if it is ok that they rasied my motor up .5-1"? It looks like LT's will fit better and changing spark plugs will be easier but is there any realy bad down falls?

They did make a huge difference on how the motor moves in the bay it is stiff as a brick when it idels and when reving...before it use to move around alot.

All motors vibrate some. But maybe its just the new motor mounts transfering the vibration into the car more now that you got them.

Unless you know for a fact the balancer is crap. Im just trying to help you save money.

the old rubber was worn. when they wear they can cause sagging and let the motor jump around alot more. the poly mounts probably just moved it back up to stock location

Well with my new motor I don't want to feel it all over. If you need a balancer let me know, I'm getting rid of my Romac which has been on my car for a whopping few hundred miles.

your strut tower brace might not fit right if you rase the motor up--maybe
