The rear subframe I'll use, but it had to come out to get solid bushings (the stock bushings are very soft rubber) and all the rear links will be converted to spherical bearings (again, very soft rubber bushings).



This is a view from the rear looking forward, just showing how clean the underside of the car is. I love working on this car - the engineering is so well done compared to the E46 where everything is kind of a pain.



All of the emissions-related stuff is coming out to save weight and reduce complexity, including this surprisingly heavy charcoal canister / gasoline vapor recovery box.
