Default B18C + CRX...Ground clearence?

Is it possible to raise the motor in the CRX and get like a ZC or Bullfrog hood so there wont be ground clearence issues when lowering?
Using the mounts kits?

Thanks

talk to the people who made your kit they might be able to help you out and make the kit sit a little higher, but don't think you will gain any more then 1-2cm higher.

why not raise the car a little

I have seen people shim their motors up and down for either hood clearance or ground clearance. It can be done and it can work well, but you have to watch your axle alignment when doing that.

Let me just say tat 2.5 to 3 inches down is way to low for a b18c in a rex. I'm not even down half way on my GC's with HCP mounts, and I don't have to much clearance. 3 inches and my header and oil pan would gone the first time I pulled into a parking lot.
