So I’ve decided to take on the Spyder AWD swap and have read a bunch of swaps and started thinking to myself, “there must be a better way to deal with the subframe studs that need to be swapped in order to make the subframes bolt up’”. Every thread that I’ve seen cuts into the frame to add the factory GSX subframe bolts. I didn’t really want to cut into the frame unless absolutely necessary so my question is, why hasn’t there ever been a custom bushing made that has a threaded ID that reaches up to the shorter factory bolts? I know it must be possible so I ended up writing Volk to ask them if they can fab something up. They almost already make it with their solid subframe bushings it would just have to be threaded with a hex to tighten on the lower bushing. Figured I’d ask if anyone has ever attempted this or any insight to why it wouldn’t work if so.
