    Subframes?

    Does anyone know if there is a difference between 3b and ABY rear subframes?

    Thanks!

    nope, same fit on all CQ20v, 3B and ABY coupes.
    If anything the earlier CQ and 3B ones seem to last longer, thicker / better quality steel i'd guess.

        Only the front are different - the front subframe bushes have 12mm holes on the ABY, but the subframes all have the same size bush reccess - i.e. you can fit CQ / 3B bushes on an ABY subframe

        On the rear subframes they are all the same - 10mm bolts

              ABY front subframe also has slightly different shape to accomodate 01E gearbox... But yes the rears are identical on CQ, 3B & ABY
