why would you have to cut the mounts off? i suppose youd have to relocate the pivot points for proper anti squat and all that.
i at first glance there would not be much problem of strength in a way due to the reduced weight, but my physics tells me that it wont be any different at all, as the car will be accelerating hareder, and in F = MA, M will go down, but A will go up.
IMO the diff should hold up, id (rightly or wrongly) put that much through a stock oz spec diff
one thing i have thought about in regards to a clubman is the issue of unsprung weight, and live axles arent the lightest things out there.
i cant see it being very easy to rig up a de-dion tube system though, and not many IRS systems are all that crash hot. maybeye womething with double wishbones would be ok? i know bongo vans have this setup, but a 1 litre engine copuldnt make that much torque.
if you do go live axle, make sure you use a watts link in place of the panhard rod, just for wank factor!
