it should fit man, I don’t see why not.  
The hicas guys put nonhicas in, so I think it should work the other way.

my car DOESNT HAVE HICAS thus there is no fuse to pull…  
so basicly my question in if i put it into the car will the steering protion of the Hicas subframe move or stay still?

I don’t know why you want to change your subframe anyway? tehy don’t bend real easy, and believe me I’ve tried, and they don’t usually rot out, unless you’ve kept the thing soaking in salt water for 10 years or so?

Anyway… puttingteh HICAS subframe in a non Hicas car, I wouldn’t recommend. For starters you’ll have the HICAS rack, why carry the extra weight? If you’re going to take it off then you’ll be in a whole pile of bother becauset the mounting points for the toe links (bottom rear) are different so you won’t be able to use teh old one.

Which brings me back to my question… why?

If you do really need to I know there are lots of parst cars around, and lots on non-hicas rear subframes, do yourself a favour and get one of those and put it in.

Then get someone who can tell to look at it…  
I can’t tell from your text graphics if it’s +ve or +ve camber you are trying to illustrate, or toe-in/out?

Either way, you probably need upper of lower control arms. You might need a subframe, but it’s unlikely and if you do get a non HICAS one.
