Thanks guys. I agree that I should shim the mounts evenly and not just the passenger side.
I'm not sure if they're standard taco mounts or the low ones, but they came with about 1/2" of the mount material cut off the top that was assembled under the mount bracket with a washer under it so that's how I put them in. I'll work on it tomorrow.

Re: Chris' Turbo Coupe
Zero progress to report but I wanted to bump this thread anyways. I did have to send the downpipe back to Hank for him to rework it. Shimming the engine mounts only tilts the drivetrain in an undesireable way and isn't going to give me the clearance I need. The reason it didn't fit is because he designed the pipe in an UR Q engine bay and not a B3 CQ which is a little tighter. I've been trying to stay on Hank and keep this process moving but its taking way too long. Not only that, but he said I'd have to pay an extra ~$100.
I'll post more in a month or two if the new pipe ever comes in.
