So I think I am going to just drop everything from the mk5 r32 and use it all in the caddy

Does anyone know if the 2008 mk5 r32 have the alloy front subframe?
And will it just bolt up to the caddy?
Will also be using steering rack ect.

Haven't had a chance to get golf on the ramp yet to check it out.
