Default Project subframe rise

So I am trying to raise my subframe a bit and also make it as solid as possible. I thought someone would like to see.



I took these front solid subframe spacers I got from battleversion (great company)

it was nice to clean the whole pumpkin and subframe and just give it a good looking over since its been a while.

LOL I did the same stuff this weekend.

Put my PBM things in the rear subframe and got my welded diff in.

Those hariguchi mounts look real interesting to me. How'd you get those and what did they run you. When i was doing my PBM subframe collars I was thinking it was kinda lame that I left the other mounts stock

P.S. that sway bar endlink looks a little bent to me

Raising the subframe puts less stress on all the components like arms, axles when your car is low.

and Ron the Haraguchi mounts cost around $200 shipped from Japan.
and I wouldnt worry about that sway bar link... ;-)
