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 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.

Subframe now is made for both LHD and RHD cars !

PLEASE NOTE:

Sold for off road, track and racing applications only. Installation of this product will introduce some additional NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) transfer into the cabin. We strongly advice to mount the subframe in qualified and experienced workshop that would know what are doing.

The standard wishbones should be mounted to the lower mount. Higher mount can be used only with our special tubular wishbones.

Must use newer Gen3 steering rack. See picture bellow. Old rack was mounted in some cars prior 2008.
