I ordered the red Prothanes, should be here any day now.
I'll be doing a write-up on them.
To echo Rich, there's no difference between the black and red mounts.
And like others have said, the non-shaved mounts (JDM modified Prothanes) should leave the engine at stock height. JDM/Prothanes lower the engine about 1/2".
I personally drove JedCranium's KB powered Roush (he's got the JDM/Prothanes) and it definitely has some engine vibrations that can be felt on the butt-o-meter when you first crank it over and up to around 1700 rpm's or so. If this is what you're looking for, like me, the Prothanes are the way to go.
With any luck, I'll have them installed on Saturday.

As always Bill I will be looking forward to your outstanding detailed documentary of "how to" I won't be installing mine until say mid January when I get my OBX headers.

When I first had the Prothanes installed, I did notice a little more engine vibration--mainly at start up. After a couple of months with them on, I don't even notice it now-- even with the new KB 2.6L SC.
I agree that the engine height is about the same as stock.

I don't know..... I was hoping soon, because I paid for them last night but i just checked and my order status is "Processing". Somehow I have a feeling that they won't ship till late next week.

Anyone who installs these with long tubes should do themselves a huge favor and replace the hex bolts with standard bolts. getting an allen key under the headers on the passenger side to tighten it is a PIA. just an fyi.
