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)
and I shaved the top lip thing down a bit like so
and I put them into here...
that and the poweredbymax (also great company) diff bushings for the front diff mounts
I also got these Haraguchi rear subframe mounts that raise it a little
I also bought the titan motorsports racing rear diff weld in mounts
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... ;-)

How low does one's car have to be to gain benefit from raising the subframe?
