Hey, I will be getting my motor next week and I was wanting to know, how much the front of the car raised after you swapped motors? I know that the motor is lighter than the KA, but will it increase the ride height? Ppl who've done this, please let me know if you noticed any difference. Thanks!

I doubt the ride height would change that much. Worst case senerio, find yourself a nice female companion to ride around with you to make up the weight :chicken Sorry, couldn't help myself, it's Friday after all:pface

no noticeable difference IMO...If you want, get some aftermarket springs...they always lower the front more, so with the lighter engine up there, it'll even everything out;)
