Not sure how low the subframe has been dropped, never measured it to be honest. Also i have no idea about column? I just bought the car and drove it Laugh my ass off

Only got these pics of mounts ect...

Subframe spacers:

Engine mounts:

Bottom mount has been welded down a little

Not the best pic of the top mount but you get an idea and i have no pics of gearbox mount

from what i can see, the subframe spacers look about 25mm...iirc the gearbox mount shares the same position

as the XU setup

soooo want me a drive in this thing Yes

T99Pug stop quoting all the fecking pictures to put a 1 liner that's clearly relevant to his last post. Roll eyes

That's pretty s**tty luck about the sump, but i did wonder if you were destined for that after seeing the subframe spacer pics on OC. At least you can get it bodged.

Anyway, paint it yellow!

Bigger than I thought they would be those spacers Shock

What's the gap between sump and road?

Wonder how it affects the suspension geometry, subframe lowered by that far, plus lowering springs=bottom arm mounting points circa 50mm lower than designed to be Dunno
