The Standard Prothane Bullets raise the engine a little. Im not sure exactly how much but I would guess about 1/4" or a little more.

Prothane raises the motor about 1/4" - 1/2". BBR and JDM sell the lowering motor mounts.

Why do you want it higher anyways?

+1 on the Prothane mounts, they do raise the motor close to 1/2". I helped install some on my friend's car 2 weeks ago for the same problem you have. It worked.

I put prothanes on about 2 years ago and they DEFINITELY lowered my motor about a 1/4 inch. Did they change their design?
