ES Motor Mount bushings sit lower than OEM-> fitment issues?
Based on all the pictures I saw, the ES Motor Mount bushings seem to have a hole directly in the center of the bushing, while the OEM ones don't. phatman95's thread shows the difference between them is 1/4":

I am just going by the FSM and images I have seen and trying to imagine all this in my head before I go ahead with the ES bushings... but doesn't this cause any fitment issues? What makes up for the difference? Will the engine sit differently because of this?
Thanks

No issues as far as I know, and many people are using them, myself included. Yes, the motor does sit slightly lower, but you won't have a problem bolting the subframe piece back up.

that's something that I have experienced with all manual cars I have driven... although I do feel it more in my 2k3. I think it might have something to do with the drive by wire. Although... my guess would be that bad mounts could make the rocking worse.

Anyway, you could be right. I could have sworn that Polo posted somewhere his sat lower with the ES inserts, but eng92 posted here that it isn't' much of a difference:

Anyway, regardless, I think the point is that using ES mounts doesn't cause any fitment issues.
