LIGHTER & MORE STABLE

After a long CAD development, based on 3D scans of the original subframe, you now have the opportunity to upgrade your Audi, VW, Seat or Skoda based on the MQB platform and Haldex with a brand new, rustproof subframe for the rear axle.

The axle carriers are made from T45 tubes and S355 metal sheets, which are also used in rallies. These offer increased rigidity and an enormous weight reduction. In addition, they were designed in such a way that access to the vehicle underbody is made significantly easier. 

With a total subframe weight of only 13,6kg, you save about 4,5kg compared to the OEM MQB steel subframe or 5kg compared to the original PQ35 axle carrier. All components are TIG welded. In addition, camber, toe and roll center can also be adjusted with this subframe (additional bracket for the upper wishbone).

An additional rear axle cross member also increases rigidity and improves vehicle handling at high speeds and increasing lateral forces.

EASY INSTALLATION

The frame is easily mounted on the body using the original screw points. All original parts can also be attached to the new subframe with plug & play, which means that no further modifications are required. The original wishbones can also continue to be used. Also, the subframe includes OEM rear xenon light mounts and it can be used with exhausts up to 4" with OEM center positioning.

ALSO AVAILABLE IN YOUR FAVORITE COLOUR

You are free to choose from the entire RAL range! Simply specify the desired RAL color when placing your order. The default color is black. Another color costs €50,00 extra.

DETAILS

Note: Only available for off-road, track and racing applications. We recommend having the subframe installed by a qualified and experienced workshop.

T45 is a very unique carbon base seamless steel tube that has been used in many applications across various industries. It is stronger than Co-Mo 4130 hoses, which are also used in motorsport. It is widely used in the aerospace industry in equipment such as pilot seats and crew seats because the material can withstand high G-forces without cracking or chipping. This material is carbon manganese based and conforms to full British Standards aerospace specifications.
