I'm loving the rear suspension that looks awe it must handle a damm site better than the original

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

Yes I'm fine mate clocking up plenty of miles in the van
I suppose you get the chance to get quite a few laps in on the local track

They don't expect to be overtaken by a van or certainly not being able to shake it off

Re: R32 then upgraded R36 power and 4 motion for my pure grey
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
