there are just as good. they dont move one bit

No they are not. Do not use them they will kill you or someone else. Your insurance company won't think they're just as good either. The load the suspension puts on them is massive as said above.

Get some new ones and then get someone else to do all the work on your car from now on.

Initially I was just going to ask why you had removed the subframe in order to do this but now I have so many more questions. I would really consider getting someone else to re-fit the subframe if I were you.

You have to be really accurate when cutting trumpets if you want the car to sit on the road level and be safe from now on.

for what it's worth, i have to agree with those ratios

[sirmarky]

Not funny realy, people could have been killed :sad:

[Dan]

Yes jammy, you got the ratios right. Do you want a badge or something?

[Jammy]

Oooo, a badge would be great, failing that a biscuit will do!
