Verkline Front Tubular Subframe for MQB Platform Vehicles

Verkline Audi TTRS TTS TT 8S / Audi RS3 S3 A3 8V / VW Golf MK7 MQB Platform Front Lightweight Tubular Subframe

After long CAD development based on a 3D scan of the OEM subframe, you can now buy a brand new subframe for the MQB Platform Vehicles.

Tested with CAD FEA (Finite Element Method) and road going tests

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

Benefits:

Weighs only 6.5kg (13 lbs), meaning it is 3.5kg (8.8 lbs) saving over the OEM aluminium subframe and 6kg over the OEM steel subframe
Higher set of control arms mounts to correct suspension kinematics to be used with our tubular wishbones
No need to use rear steel OEM subframe support resulting in additional 0.5 kg saving
One mounting subframe position, eliminates subframe shifting under the car. No need for subframe locking kit / deadset collar kit (weight savings)
Increases chassis rigidity for improved handling performance. No need for additional lower bar / member brace (weight savings)
Polyurethane dogbone mount, significantly reduces engine pitching back and forwards essential for performance driving, no need for additional dog bone insert or aftermarket mount

Features:

Better access to car under body and enables wishbones change with out 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 tubular wishbones
Mounts to the OEM car body and no other modifications are needed to fit the subframe
Includes two xenon lights mounts
Can be used with OEM undertray
Can be used with OEM or aftermarket dogbone support (arms)

Subframe is made for both LHD and RHD cars.

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 seats and crew 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.

Properties:

Tensile: 700 - 900MPa
0.2% Yield 620MPa minimum
Hardness Test: 201min - 262 max HB or 210min - 275max HV.

If you are using standard OEM metal wishbones and your car is lowered significantly it may be necessary to shim off around 2mm of the wishbones at on the length of 10mm. This is not necessary with OEM aluminium wishbones or our tubular wishbones.
