Also, does anyone know if they lower the engine like the other solid mounts on the market? I cant run those because then the oil pan would interfere with my GT Spec bracing.

Then I misunderstood------Reply # 7 is a picture of a SOLID motor Mount

We have them in stock, and ours locate the engine in the stock position. Also, ours come threaded on both ends with studs which makes for an easier install. You can put the nut on one side and then slide it into the other.

I was wondering if with the shims in place if it would allow the GT Spec braces to fit, or if it even mattered? I know it lowers the motor about 1/4 inch, but I didn't think it would affect fitment of the brace.

If you have a choice, I guess one method would be to use an engine hoist to pull the engine up utilizing the small window in the front of the timing cover. Once the engine is up you will have access to both engine mounts.
This is a pic from the front of the car looking at the driver side:
The black thick support is the cross member. There is 1 engine mount on the driver side and 1 on the passenger side. The 3rd engine mount is basically the back end of the tranny. So yes, the engine and tranny are held up by 3 points.
One more:
It is the rubber component that you would be swapping out.

Could that be reached from above with, say a 30" extension + swivel? Or would it be better to try it from underneath the engine? I know you'll need a 17mm deep socket to get to the nuts themselves.
These pics are worth a thousand words, thanks for sharing! :-)

Wow, I see I am a little late to this thread.
As for the original question about the Megan Racing stiffer motor mounts, I have them on my Z and they are a big improvement over stock. They limit the actuall motor movement by about 70%. They allow for a tiny bit of movement which is good so that it will remain quiet much like the stock ones do, and they also aren't a direct solid mount that can not only add more in cab noise, but could also add more wear and tear on other elements of the car.
For added performance on a street car, I would install these Megan Racing ones for sure, as they are a great compramise and seem to be the best of both worlds. They also come with the tranny mount.
For an all out track race car, I would go with a solid motor mount like the ones we have in our Time Attack car from Scott @ SVRT.
Either way motor mounts are a nice improvement to have for your car.
