Help: BLOX Front Engine Roll Stopper

So I purchased a front engine roll stopper and have everything bolted back onto the car but the mount hole does not line up with the engine mount. If I get this to line up first then put the support beam bolts in nothing lines up and I cannot get the support beam bolts in. Help. Pointers tips, what did I do wrong. This is supposed to be a 20min install FML

The hole spacing from the mount center-line is not the same on both sides. It looks like you have it in backwards.

Try flipping the mount direction, it should line up fine then.

Its not quite the same size. Check your factory engine mount, there will be a small difference between the centerline of the engine side mount(rubber upper) and the distance to the 2 holes that mount to the car(lower 2 holes).

Got it, feel stupid. All I needed was to put the rear bolt in first then use a screwdriver as a pry bar. All done

Yeah same issue happened to me too.... its because the engine moves/tilts when u take off that mount... who would've thought...haha.... the screwdriver prybar technique worked for me too. I do the same thing when changing out bushings and what not as well.

Just took her for a spin. Engine movement is reduced, I used to feel the whole car shift back and forth when I let off throttle now it's much smoother. I still feel some engine roll when I let off the gas after hitting peak boost. Shifts are better as well. My synchos in 2nd are on thier way out. Honestly I can't tell the vibration difference but I can tell a difference in noise. There is more cabin noise now after the install but a welcome tradeoff.
