Hey Andy! Hope you’re well bud!! Yes, fitting the rear subframe, 4 motion and independent suspension has transformed the van and it’s a great drive round the track now mate thanks

Just read this all amazing work hef, ive done the 4wd on my van using the subframe from an r32 golf. Im just wondering why didnt you use the front trailing arm bracket with the 4 bolts? also did you look into having the adjustable trailing arms made id be really interested in a set of those, mine has got fully adjustable camber arms and caster arms and adjustable trailing arms would finish it off thanks

@Craig2681 Hia mate thank you! Yes i did think of adjustable trailing arms and had a cad drawing made of them but never hot round to making them. Be good to see how you’ve made yours as i’d do a couple of things differently next time. I just wanted it to look as oem factory as possible. Any pics you can share?
