 Post subject: Solid Subframe mounting
PostPosted: Sun Feb 17, 2013 12:53 am 
Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has solid mounted the subframe on their dolomite and how it feels?

I have solid mounted many subframes on other cars in the past all with good effects. I was just curious as I need to replace all the mounts on mine and it would be far cheaper to get some ali bushes turned up than to buy the rimmers rubber kit.

cheers
matt

It improves the handling a lot and no side effects about noise.

I just welded some pipes into the subframeholes so when tightening it's solid. I put the rubbers around them doing nothing only for looking original attachment.
