Ronin or Granny's
What is preferred for lsx swaps. I like the Ronin product but have never seen in up close. I have heard the Granny's can be difficult, but i have seen these in action. another concern is transmission cross member mount plates. are they strong enough?

Ronin without question for the LS swap in an FC. The quality and functionality is top notch.

The Ronin kit gives you the most room for exhaust around the transmission and clearance for accessories in the engine bay.

Nope. The trans mount comes with reinforcement plates for the inside of the car as well.

I almost said that.

If I have not had a problem, I don't think he will.

I used the grannys kit years ago when I did an lt1/t56. Not sure if the trans crossmembers are the same, but I didn't have issues routing the exhaust up high away from the ground. Ronnin items are nice tho.
