hello

im working on my rb26dett project and for this i used mckinney mounts.
i got the mounts in 2 weeks ago and when fitting them i noticed that the bottom conection to the subframe has space pas side 1" and driver side about 0.5 "

i was wondering if anyone else had the same space there and if its ok to use spacers to fill up the gap

cheers Dirk :dblthumb:

Thats weird. IDK about S13's but my McKinney mounts were actually so flush with the subframe I had to grind down some of the press bent lip from the factory...
