I'm replacing the rear subframe on my uk my2001 car. I'm considering putting a later model subframe on as I believe the changes made to the suspension pick up points made it a little less snappy? Am I correct in thinking this is a direct bolt up replacement apart from the upper wishbones that are different? Anyone else done this and noticed much difference?

 

No one ??

 

Am sure someone will tell you,

Id think that its a direct bolt for the main subframe the suspension side of thing will be different so you'd need facelift wishbones etc but i could be wrong

 

Dixon did the swap on his black s2000.I don't think he needed facelift wishbones tho? But best ask him about it to be 100% .....have a look on his build thread bud

 

The older wishbones wont fit, the mounting points are further apart

Also you will need longer bolts

 

Read it, it was that what got me thinkinking of doing it. He doesn't say if its a direct bolt on or if he had to modify it though but did mention the upper wishbones been different which I knew about.

It was more if/how much of an improvement it would be that I wanted to find out aswell. I'm guessing its not a swop people would normally do unless they need to.

 

Just for the upper wishbones?

 

I have a full set of suspension arms and sub frames you are more than welcome to take measurements off mine as i was changing my 2003 car to the newer 2008 parts.The poly bushes are different on 2 suspension arms and the mounting points are different on the back ones.
