I've used heavy duty front mounts from Cambridge in the UK. The
standard ones I'd kill in a year or two, these have been in the car for
probably 10 years and are rock solid. Shipping was almost as much
as the mounts themselves.<br><br>

I was thinking of moving the entire drive train appx 1 inch back but have
changed my mine. I didn=E2=80=99t know the sanctioning bodies would not
approve. Its not worth the hassle!<br><br>
I did find out that the old TR Bits does sell upgraded front motor
mounts. About $40 each. Has any one used them or something close to
this? <br><br>

I don't know why you would need to.<br>
I have an IRS car with coil overs on the front and made adjustable spring
perches for the rear, I use a lightweight battery behind the passenger
seat and my car corner weights to 49.9% cross weight. I could have nailed
it to 50% but settled for the .1% off<br>
It's surprising how well these cars will balance without a lot of
effort.<br>

you would be surprised what an inch difference in weight placement makes
in the corner weighting of a car, especially the engine and trans. If
you've ever used a tongue scale to balance your trailer load you can
imagine what moving the engine and trans will do to a 2000lb
car.<br><br>
