Remember an article on this in one of the mags a while ago but cant remember why they did it. Going solid mount due to fibre front and wondered if it was worth me doing it at the same time.

Any ideas why and what benefits it has.

Raising a frame lowers the body without compromising the suspension geometry or travel.

guess that just lowers c of g, will that not make the rear feel loose if the frontal c of g moves and the rear stays.

No idea. Never done it!

Why not email Mondos and them what effect it has. They run a car that they race that might have this kit on

im making my own kit, dead easy using the mini sport solid subframe kit and using one tower bolt spacer and one of the teardrop spacer together and tig welding them together. the spacers only so the tower bolt doesnt bottom out on your cone i think :S.
then make your own rear mount to the heel board simples instead and paying mondos prices

I've got the same type of spacers from Owens Fabrication fitted to my estate. In reality they only raise the subframe by about 10MM so they don't have a great affect on suspension geometry.
