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, no question.

Fatpig 03-24-17 05:36 PM

Yea that's what I was thinking. Stikky looks nice as well but no fc parts.

Talk to LargeOrangeFont, I believe he's dealt with Ronin a lot.

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.

great! has anyone had an issue with the trans mount cracking the floor? I beat the crap out of my cars.

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.

For a long while I was going to get the Grannys, but after seeing the exhaust routing problem people have, that the Grannys trans mount causes Ive switched to Ronins!

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.
