    So im unsure if I should go with zzp solid rubber trans and engine mounts or the poly ones. I plan to lower the car an inch or so in future and just dont want overwhelming amount of vibration. Also im getting shorter dogbones.

    I'd go with rubber if you don't want that much vibration I have regular new trans and motor mounts then I have poly upper dog bone mounts that's where most of your slop comes from and I have a decent amount of vibration. I have a pretty much new set of shorter dog bones if you need some.

    Shorter dog bones do not correct the axle geometry that you are wanting.

    You need to space the motor and transmission back up to correct the angle.

    Soild rubber mounts will work prefect.

    Idk not much they don't have the bushing in them because I had poly bushings in those to and put them back in the regular dog bones the stock ones are sloppy you'd want to get some red poly bushings anyways

    The shorter dog bones do help for that and they bring the weight of the motor forward but alot of guys use the tans and motor mount spacers to fix the axle angle some just use shorter dog bones.

    What about using both shorter doggies and spacers? Should I wait to lower to do those or can I do it before?

    You could you can't run shorter dog bones with headers though. You can lower before but you'll get a vibration while accelerating

    I don't know man I wanted to lower but didn't because of the roads where I live is why I know about this is because I looked into it some people drive it with out doing anything different I have heard it'll cause a vibration while accelerating if you don't use the dog bones or the spacers

    For which ones? Rubber is fine for trans and motor but for the dog bones and square mounts go poly that's exactly what I have there's vibration at idle not a ton but enough I do have a cam though and a bunch of mods so probably a little worse vibration then you will have
