hi strad
i was thinking [rare for me] could you put a spacer between the crossmember and the chassis rails that could give about another 10 mil without upsetting the geometry

my 23 has a spacer between the crossmember and the bottom of the rail, 15mm if i remember rightly, add a couple of roll center correctors and all is gravy.

but i still cant see why your engine is sitting so high??
my 1uz is just sitting in the hole, no mounts or anything and its about 40-50mm to high (its sitting on the power steer rack) and i still have plenty of clerance under the hood.
how far away from the fire wall is your motor?

double post, sorry.

i think that the clearance issue is with the cross member
the celica ones dip down strads seem to go straight across
i may be wrong as a didnt have long to have a close look at it
