If you look closely, you will notice the "subframe spacers" actually mount to the bottom of the subframe. This does not change the mounting point of the subframe. If it where mounted on top (impossible almost), it would space the subframe down a bit. So pretty much it doesn't change the location of the subframe.

I was doing some looking. With solid lower control arm bushings you HAVE to use the toe adjuster bolt and CAN NOT use the toe links from awr....The solid bushings would have no give in that direction without the bolt....All I could see happening is binding and the eventual break of the link.

This is exactly true.

You would have to have stock or spherical bearings in the trailing arm at best.

Well its better to sit and stare then buy something worthless.....BTW were can I get my hands on a solid bushing for the rear upper that's beside the DTSS eliminator bushing. Drop engineering makes them but they come in the whole rear kit. The company I got my control arm kit from doesn't include those small upper bushings....
