After long CAD development based on 3D scan of OEM subframe, tested with CAD FEA (Finite element method) and road-going tests you can now buy brand subframe for the rear of your Audi/VW/SEAT/Skoda cars based on MQB platform Front Wheel Drive cars.

Using the same T45 tubing as in WRC cars, our subframes provide increased stiffness and mass reduction. All factory parts bolt up to this unit, no other modifications are necessary.

Benefits:

• 11 kg. It is 2 kg saving over OEM steel subframe.
  
• Possibility of adjusting camber, toe, and bump steer for improved suspension kinematics.
  
• Additional mounting for upper control arm – provides better camber gain and roll center position (requires adjustable control arm to keep camber adjustment).
• One mounting subframe position, eliminates subframe shifting under the car. No need for subframe locking kit/billet aluminum rear subframe inserts (weight savings).
• Increases chassis rigidity for improved handling performance.

Features:

• Better access to the car underbody and enables wishbones to change without subframe removal
  
• T45 (BS4T45 to BS4T100) tubing imported from UK and S355 metal sheets
  
• All components TIG welded
  
• Delivered painted (powder coated) black
  
• Can be used with OEM wishbones or our adjustable wishbones
• Mounts to the OEM car body and no other modifications are needed to fit the subframe
• Includes mounts for two OEM rear xenon lights sensors
• Can be used with exhaust up to 4 inches. OEM positioning.
• No need for subframe inserts or our aluminum subframe bushings as the subframe comes with solid mounts to the car body

What's Included:

• Rear subframe powder coated in back.
• Set of 3 mm metal adjustable wishbone position shims
• Printed install instructions

Fitment Details:

• Audi A3/3 (8P & 8V & 8VFL 2012+) FWD
  
• Audi TT/TTS (8J & 8S 2006+) FWD
  
• VW Golf Mk5 Mk6 Mk7 (2003+) FWD

T45 is a very unique seamless carbon-based steel tube that has been used in many applications in different industries. It is stronger than Co-Mo 4130 tubing that is also used in motorsport. It is widely used in the aerospace sector in equipment such as pilot’s seats and crew’s seats due to the materials ability to withstand high G forces without snapping or splitting. This material is a Carbon Manganese based and conforms to the full Aerospace Specification laid down by British Standards.
