nope. got to drop the subframe down.

In my exsprence you got to drop the frame.

there these location bits for the U-Bolts. So you need to take the U Bolts out meaning you have to lower ye-olde subframe.

Shouldn't take long tho. only took me an hour to change my front subframe rear mounts. Which entails almost the same mount of work. Just less dropping.

are the quick racks any good? i might change mine just wondering if they make the steering mega heavy or have any nasty side effects?

You need to drop the front subby about 2 inches which allows just enough room..you may just get away with unding the turret bolts and the rear mounts, the front (especially if you still have teardrops) have enough flex in them.

I did mine for the MOT in 2 hours, the pig will be getting the "U" bolts back in.

Things to watch out for are the brake line, make sure you do stretch it, and the shocks.

thanks for the info i will take on the challenge later this week,im still cutting arches for my new 8+13 revs with slicks on starting to look fast!!!!!
As for the rack im changing it because the front steering is very possitive and the quick rack only makes things happen faster.
