Quick question man, I have heard that McKinney mounts allow flex under high torque making very quick shifting difficult due to motor mount flexing. Aswell as a high and forward engine position compared to other mounts that utilize a R33 crossmember. Im just looking for insight on what motor mounts I should go with, in a RB26DETT in a US LHD S13.

Thank you, and I will be staying tuned on this thread sir!

Thanks Mike. The McKinney kit is really well made and actually positions the motor pretty much as far back as you can and as low as you can before fouling against anything in the engine bay re: firewall, cross member, etc.

I've sold countless amount of mount kits and have nothing but success with all types of applications using them. Hence why I have a set on my personal car
