Prothane Motor Mounts??

I am thinking about getting some Prothane Motor Mounts. I have Long Tube Headers already, wondering, is that going to make the install any more difficult or not? Also, I am debating on getting the JDM or Reg Prothane. Reason is, I am going to have to tighten my header bolts eventually, and want to know which one would make that process easier. Thanks in advance for any info...

I don't think it will make your install any harder. I would say about the same either way.

I have read somewhere, when someone was swapping there Motor Mounts for Prothane's, They decided to just cut the Factory Stud in the middle of the Mount. I am trying to figure out where exactly they cut the Stud. If you cut it close to the aluminum support bracket, your still going to have to lift the motor a good bit to get it over the rest of the stud, aren't you?

I would like to cut the stud, just not sure where to chop it at, any info helps.. Thanks

I wouldn't waste my time cutting them. You should be able to lift the engine enough to get them out. I had mine out without to much of a hassle. Just make sure to remove your strut support bar if you have one

Did you just raise it until it came completely off the stud. Or did you remove the engine support brackets

Well guys, I guess it just looked intimidating. . After not being able to find anything to cut the studs with, I started the normal route. And 2 hours later, its done... Couple things ive noticed so far, Steering is a little tighter and shifting is smoother... Overall, I like it so far...
