Cheapest option is to buy a seconds hand subframe on eBay for about £35 plus postage then fit your new mount or uprated one to that and arb while it is off then swop them over and sell on other.
That way least amount of down time and only one time needed for re alignment.
Well that's the way I plan to do it. Lol.

didnt actually think of this...
are all the mk5 subframes made the same? may be able to pick one up for a tenner, although its only the actual subframe itself and not the side arm bits, the one for 35+postage includes the side arm bits, arb and some drop links. i'd probably change out the bushes and drop links whilst im in there
just got to find out if all these subframes are all the same now.
