Im trying to find a good set of motor mounts
For my 09 v sedan. I was going to order the ALM mounts but he won't have any for about 3 months so I'm trying to find the next best choice.

I'm trying to stay away from CS because they raise the engine slightly, and I'm running zl1 lid with 20mm spacer. "Unless someone knows where to drill them to drop the engine slightly?"

Sorry if I'm not supposed to post links to vendors but I found these... but they seem kinda cheap soooo idk
"not sure but they look a bit shorter from the picture so I wonder if they drop the engine at all?"

I think the reason people think certain mounts rise their engine is because their factory mounts are destroyed/worn out, and aftermarket ones just bring them up to factory spec height.
Ones in your link look more local to you, I would try them out. Metal looks a little thin, but it could just be the angle/picture.

I agree with the above. I had to mill my lid even with the OE mounts, and after installing the CS mounts, I was still ok.

I have the CS installed and found them similar to the stock, I also have spacer plates.

I can't see OE's lasting for long at elevated hp levels given that they are toast at stock hp levels. Go with the CS units and be done.
