Eean, is your front subframe completely bare, or does it still have the upper arms attached?

 

If you don't have the upper arms you really need to find the matching type:

- dry upper arms for a dry front subframe

- wet upper arms for a wet from subframe

There are slight differences between them.

 

To find out which front subframe you have, check the size of the two threaded holes at the tops of each of the turrets. If these are threaded 5/16UNF then chances are it's wet, and if 3/8UNF it's likely a dry front subframe.

 

Also wet front subframes don't have top arm bumpstops fitted to the subframe. Hope this helps.

Cheers Carbon
It's def a wet sub up front as there are also no shocker mount brackets holes either, so will I have to change subframe as someone's said they are usable, take clips out to fit doughnut rubbers, not got a clue as never converted a wet one to dry, a wealth of info here thanks
