That is awesome! I will def. be in for one of those when I change to a class that allows replacement of the subframe.
Nice work, and great prices too!! The JDM adjustable rear pieces are hella expensive. . .
Now I just need someone to fab up an replacement rear trailing arm that has allows a bit more clearance for the tires on the inboard side. If you would be willing to take on this project I will send you a stock rear trailing arm if you need one.

Great looking piece! What the AX/TT racers among us need is a rear toe-rod that moves the inboard pivot UP or the outboard pivot DOWN so that when the cars are lowered alot it keeps the arm more level to reduce bump-steer.
The bump steer kits for the stock toe-rod uses an offset bushing to move the inboard pivot UP. Problem is the stock toe adjustment does not have enough range to be able to properly adjust lowered cars. . .
All the aftermarket units I've seen have a spherical bearing for the inboard pivot that keeps the arm at stock location - thus not improving bump steer. . . but allowing more adjustment.
If someone could make something that had the best of both worlds - you'd have a hit!

With rod ends I can custom offset or raise the pivot point any where you want. Just let me know what you want. Can have them done in 4-5 days lead time. We machine all the spacers in house so no problem.
Here is a quick mspaint pic of what I am thinking of for the inboard rear toe rod. The rod end would have to have an I.D. large enough to allow you to make a spacer that offsets it upward. . .
I'm no artist but hopefully that gets my idea across . . .
Doable?
