Default Re: front subframe - need some input

Even though I have a RPM brace, I would've loved to see this come to the market. It looks like the best one made to date.

Why somebody won't fill this void is beyond me.

TIC, couldn't you guys source somebody else to do the same design?

I concur. RPM subframes are no longer available and TiC has become a respected name in the subaru community (especially in the handling department).
I just wish someone would make a subframe that looks like a good design, has mounts for the stock undertray (bonus points if it works with the JDM transmission tray), and does not hang ridiculously low.

sorry
my ID got loose.

ok seriously now, looks great, if it comes to life, its on the ride!

just a thought after reading all pages. doesnt the higher strength to weight of CrMo allow a thiner tube to be used with a given Diameter. thus allowing it to be lighter and stronger. NHRA allows " thin wall" because of the increase in strength. also Ducati does the same for the same.

That might have been me. Im sorry we did not have a price at the time. We are still working on it. We have so must time invested into this one just because its a main component, and by our reputation- it has to fit perfect-no excuses.

I will post the price soon, and we are putting it on the site ASAP. Look for some more info and maybe if we have enough interest- a group buy deal.
