Has anybody thought of designing and building something like an aluminum tubular front subframe? Last week I was staring at a stock piece, looks pretty effing beefy! I bet you could design one to drop a lot of weight (at the front no less) and improve suspension geometry.

Thoughts?

 

You might not be able to package in an Alloy subframe, i know people make them in Steel and chromoly.

Normally 7-8kg lighter (16-18lb ish)

I think i have seen one maybe awd did one with a easy bumper removal. But i could be wrong

$4,000 to save 11 pounds!

 

Thank you Evom

 

Found that one late night on ebay.uk

 

Thank you Evom

 

Yes please!

 

would love a sub 500$ dollar light weight chromo sub frame.

 

Thank you Evom

 

Have one, send me a stock frame i can use as reference.

 

Thank you Evom

 

That ebay one was exactly what I had in mind! Exept it looks like a bit crude. You guys don't think one could be made of aluminum tubing for even more lbs savings?

 

Now you're talking! I was thinking about doing one of these down the road, depending on when the EFR's arrive I may go for it.
