i believe z-cars do make a front subby designed for the A-series, with all that fancy *cant remember what its called* suspension set up.

Are you thinking of 'dijon suspension'?

[Jammy]

In board shocks?! Coil overs? Un-equal length double wishbone?

Can't find the pic of the one Z Cars had at Bingley. I remember the engine looking a state though!

[who_loves_the_mini?]

anyone know a price of the frame?

[Jammy]

I imagine its the same as a 'standard' Z Cars front subby, something like £800 or £1000.

cool thanx! yea thats what i want to do

is the subframe strong enough (on its mountings) even though it doesnt have any 'brace bars' like the standard subframe? (i mean the ones you add on).

Considering I have run my car for nearly 3 years without any brace bars I'd say it'll be fine....

on a normal standard subby?

if its fine after 3 years then cool. make me wonder why the need for brace bars was there in the first place. MOT reasons?

[danwebster]

Yep standard subframe.

Never failed an MOT so I assume its fine.

I did throw a few extra fixings through the bulkhead behind the exhaust tho.
