Default B Series Mounts : Ground Clearance

In my Crx I am running a stock b16a2 with oldschool-non-billet Hasport mounts.

I have heard that the newer billet mounts make the engine sit slightly higher in the engine bay, giving more ground clearance.
Also I have heard that Innovative billet mounts have the engine sit higher than Hasport billet mounts, but have not heard anything regarding the non-billet Innovative's.

Basically I'm just looking to see what style out of the two companies would give me the most clearance.
I have done some searching but have not come up with any concrete proof for the different claims in mount clearance.

Here are two threads that have given me the most info so far.

Any personal experience or links to other threads on this topic are greatly appreciated.

Never have thought about it, the track bar typically hits before the engine in my cars... Lower will handle better

Same here, my traction bar usually hits first if anything will hit.
But going diagonally over some obstacles I will hear my header scrape a little.
I'm not even super low either, I can still put a couple fingers inbetween my tires and fender lip.
If all these mounts are practically the same then I will just have to get a header that doesn't hang as low, maybe engineer a skid plate if I want to go overkill.

If your worried about it hitting a skid plat would be pretty easy to fab
