    Subframe drop necessary for new bushings with 12mm riser?

    This is maybe a stupid question, but I don't mind feeling a little stupid now and then.

    My rear subframe bushings are in need of replacement. I'm planning on renting an OEM tool to do the job so I don't have to drop the subframe. But I'd like to correct my rear camber with Revshift's 12mm riser kit. Is it possible to install that kit with the OEM tool/without dropping the subframe completely?

      The riser bushings are 2-piece, so the subframe will have to come down to put them in.

        It won't have to be completely dropped out of the car. You can do it just by lowering it a tad.
