yeah they are... if you look the subframe up on dialogys there are 2 types, and one is described as R19.

The other type has an extra bit cut away at the top of the rear crossmember where our rear mount goes, and it can be clearly seen in the ebay pictures that they are not that type.

Actually, this gives me an idea.

If you were to use a TD 19 shell with the extra mount on the suspension turret, and an F7R megane subframe, you could use the same hanging+dogbone mounting method as used in the F7R megane...

Lot of arsing about, but still, an idea is an idea eh! Rolling Eyes
