Ok. Which headers was install?

Did they remove the steering wheel shaft from the rack and pinion? That's all they needed to do to install the headers. There is no need to raise the engine up. Lifting the engine was a stupid move.

If they removed the lower steering shaft joint to install the headers. That joint will only go on one way. The rack shaft and joint are splined, and have a blank spot that lines up with each other. If they missed and forced the joint and shaft together. Your steering wheel could be off by 10 deg or more.

I have a feeling that they bent something. The right side install I can do under an hour. The left side takes about 5~6 hrs with lots of cussing.

If you have a dash light on. There is a sensor on the rack that needs reset. I had the local dealer do mine.

Motor and tranny mounts won't help with wheel hop. You basically have change all of the rubber bushings in the rear suspension with spherical bearing. Meaning that you have to buy the SPL catalog.

Far as I know. There is no adjustable motor mounts for the Z.
