If you're going to the trouble of getting those bolts off, and clearly have the skills and a car off the road, surely you'd be better off just poly-bushing the subframe rather than fitting collars?
Excellent work btw

Got some z32 calipers, Look better and work better (I hope) than the standard s14's They have a slight mark where they caught the previous owners wheels. Cleaned them up, there in good nick and bolted them on to see how things went...perfect! Just got to remove one of the snapped lines and fit the braided lines.
Went to clean the bonnet up and prep it for spraying, went to clean the underside up where there was a bit of rust and came across this...
Which then turned into this after attacking it with teh grinder..
So it had to come out!
Made a new plate up and bobs your uncle, still got a bit of work to do to teh weld but its nearly there, dont have an up to date pic though, Unfortunatly I set fire to the rubber stripp which runs along the end of teh bonnet, which bubbled the paint work on the other side! but it had to be rubbed down any ways so not to worry
My advice - blow torch on full bore. Heat the nuts so they expand but the studs don't. Then crack em. The WD you have soaked them in will also help. It will vaporise helping lubrication. You can’t fanny about doing this – you have to be pretty quick but from my experience it’s the best way. Hope this helps you and good luck

Decided that the rear calipers I attempted to refurb a year ago are beyond redemption, and the other set I have were knackered. So sourced some second hand ones, which came with new pistons and rubbers, thanks to Sean! Managed to get one side done, just need to do the other and then get some paint on them.
This really is a massive project looking good
