We just Fitted the first set of the Subframe Rigid kit, it was a lot more Difficult to fit then we expected. The tolerance is so fine, if you subframe is 0.1mm out then this won't go in. This collar filled all the gap on the subframe bolt surrounding and you really do need another ramp to lift the subframe up from the middle and slot into the collar. Once they are all slotted in, the subframe have absolutely no movement at all.

Front Subframe, same thing you have to get the subframe sit absolutely square or it just won't slot it. This kit made the front and rear subframe both sit perfectly in the middle with no more movement at all.
You can see from the bolt hole, how much gap there was before and how tight it gets after.

No you don't need to replace the subframe bolt, they are stretch bolt but can get used for 2-3 times. Just like Honda OEM head bolts, you can reuse them once with a couple pounds of extra torque setting.
PS. don't type in the middle of the quote, I was well confused. Took me a while to spot what you said.
