Brake discs and calipers are different. Also spheres, and driveshafts. Subframe is the same as any other MK2 subframe.
this might be a signature

I think at least one of the anti roll bars is thicker...oh, and the engine is different too. :wink:

Front and rear anti roll bars are thicker on valvers.
The rear ARB is also splined on a valver rather than just flattened as on any other BX.

The subframe itself is the same though.
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...
