ok heres a good question,
have any of the people here with Zcars mini's bought the new front subframe from Zcars? Chris showed it to me when i went to visit, but im not sure if its really worth the £700 he wants for it...
does it come with the hubs and brakes etc??? i forgot to ask lol.

No it does not come with hubs and brakes. But it is fully rose jointed wish bone race suspension that saves 8 kilos on OE sub frame.
If you want to stick to OE subby then I have a seam welded front sub frame on ebay at the moment, which will be much stronger than normal. It was shot blast, zinc primered and painted in black chassis paint. It is only going for a tenner at the moment. Also selling poly rear mounts for front subframe too!

In order of price
metro 4pot vented brakes are fine. I have uprated to grooved and drilled disks with greenstuff pads.
If not minisport alloy 4pots on metro vented brakes are the next step up
Then Kads
then willwood 6 pots would be the next logical step

Isn't the Wilwood option cheaper than KADs?
