With our design there are a few ways you can adjust the mount to fine tune it to your liking. The primary adjustment is for ride height. If you lower the engine mounts or need to get a little extra clearance around custom exhaust/intercooler piping, you can lower the transmission. This will tilt the engine backwards unless you have adjustable motor mounts.
The second form of adjustability only applies to the urethane model and does impact the firmness of the ride quality. If you disassemble the mount and add a spacing washer inside of the Upper Bushing (between the Lower Mount Plate and the Upper Body), you can release some of the pre-load on the bushings and lessen the firmness and allow for more movement of the mount. This will incrementally return the behavior of the mount to that closely resembling the OEM Transmission mount.
I will put together some test to illustrate the differences in NVH between a stock mount and the Z1 Urethane Transmission Mount.
