driveshaft length with Hawks motor mounts

I am pretty sure I know the answer but need confirmation. I just ordered an S60 and they are asking for confirmation of driveshaft length. Im running an LS1/T56 and I'm pretty sure its going to be stock 4th gen length from what I've read but can't find a good answer and need to let them know asap... I'm using Hawks motor mounts and believe they are setback, which should make the driveshaft stock length right? Thanks!

Not really sure about the motor mounts, but I just went through installing an s60. Easiest way is to just get under the car and measure the new length needed and compare to yours.

i would definitely wait until you have everything in the car and then go from there.

Yeah, I decided last night to put the driveshaft on hold until I get everything else installed. I'm pretty sure stock length would be fine and I'm curious what it will measure when ready.

Thanks
