trans mounts? steering rack spacers?

I have 09 lnf with bc coils with a 22mm gap in front and 54mm gap in the rear.
Super happy with the setup and my rear doesn't squat anymore under WOT, at least not noticeable.
I'm looking to do the trans mounts next, which ones should I get and do I need the rotated mount?
Also, do I need steering rack spacers now that the car is lowered or is it fine because I have the rear a lot higher than the front?
I haven't experienced any steering issues or noises or anything etc. thanks for your time.

OTTP mounts, if you're patient you can wait for a sale (Labor day sale just passed, black friday, xmas, etc) but he also sells blem mounts on facebook. Yes 100% get the rotated mount. It'll be a pita to install but worth it once it's done. are your control arms new/newish? If not, get new control arms with powell sphericals. That will rid most of the torque steer. The mounts will only help. Cannot comment about rack spacers as I don't need them. But I'd say not necessary unless you're noticing severe bump steer.

thanks. Yes, I already have new control arms with powell t-cabs.
I'm in zero rush, the car is going to stay like it currently is intill winter.
When it is put away for winter I plan on doing trans mounts, clean intake valves and upgrade to an undetermined turbo.
I am waiting for sales thou.

I have Powell's rotated mount and have been very happy with it.
