jason, make your own brackets for the motor.this way you can set your motor exactly where YOU want it to be.
i would'nt recommend the ultamate kit unless you don't plan on layin' out (true frame...not crossmember), or if you plan on z-ing the heck out of your frame. (to lay true frame )as it is mazdas don't lay true frame unless the frame is z-ed, or the crossmember is modified or raised or.....just dragged the hell out until the lowwer control arms fall off.
the engine sits too low (too low for draggin' comfort ...at least for me )
and the crossmember hangs lowwer than the stock one (which already hangs too low).
then again you could buy the kit,ditch the crossmember that comes with it,then slice and dice the motor mounts to re-set the engine where it would be more suitable.
by that time you would have made your own custom brackets.
then again......189 is'nt really a huge loss....is it?
or just forget all that and body drop it (without layin true/flat frame).
just lettin' ya know ,i think you'll be better off building your own.
