Well, I came home from work early enough to install the mounts today.
Stock mounts

Unusual relief drilled into the mount (used for mount alignment?)

The studs are shorter than their stock counterparts; still able to catch enough threads to tighten them adequately

Installed

Does the stud extend the height of the nut? How much thread engagement do we have? General rule of thumb of 1.5x the stud diameter.

Just barely below the height of the nut.

Really needs to have two threads showing past the nut for full engagment and proper holding strength

Even in this case where the nuts don't bear any weight?

I decided to drive the S in to work this morning. The vibration might take some getting used to if any of you plan on using these mounts on a street car (the vibration doesn't bother me at all). I rarely drive mine on the street; soon it will be a full drag only car anyway. The mounts are awesome. No engine flex at all and shifting is much more precise. Overall, I would recommend them

I received my new mounts today. Looks like they've corrected all the errors. Exception being the new finding that the studs protruding out of the front subframe may be too short.
