Thing is Mike, the ZT has solid aluminium bushes from the factory.

I used a ZT subframe when overhauling the old man's tourer, and haven't had any reports of him hooning about like a lunatic.

I can't see why they did it originally, as anyone who has used a 75 subframe in a ZT, don't suddenly say their car is like a blancmonge afterwards.

There is one exception to that, but the bloke is a complete and utter tool who is best ignored
