I also have a Sikky sway bar and oil pan sits noticeably lower than the bar and subframe, I'll have to measure tonight on exact depth. I'm not crazy low but low enough that I'm scraping the pan every once in a while on the crown of the road. Was going to try and get some aluminum solid mounts made but if there's an easy off-the shelf solution i'm all for it.

Whats everyone else running and how is your clearance?
I'm using the Zerolift mount brackets with Nismo KA motor mounts. The Nismo mounts make the engine sit a bit higher, giving me slight hood clearance issues, but I don't have any problems with my oil pan scraping. I'll see if I can take some pictures when I'm off work.
