Fitting alloy subframe mounts to a coupe

Tom,

Love all your ideas. Where did you get those alloy bushes? Made 'em? Those pics of the tool you promised would be nice.

Christ forgot all about that sorry, I will take some photos of it asap.

Thanks Tom.

I am doing just about everything I can think of to get the pig to handle.

I sure would like to find a way to get more caster. Anyone with bright ideas?

Do Bonrath do anything??

For more caster, you could jack up the rear & lower the front of the car. :mischeif:

Can do, but i will have to clean it up first

It got a bit dirty when using it its too hard to describe, but would be dead easy to make a copy for removing the bushes etc.

Borrow, Buy or Rent

subframe bushings

Give you any ideas? Moving the front subframe foward will give you more caster.
I tried getting more caster by swapping the lower front ball joints from right to left.
I got about 6 degrees of caster but ran into interference problems with the tires & inner wheelhouse liners at full lock. This was with the stock Coupe wheels with 205/60/15 tires. Using these bushings would not give as much caster gain but may not cause interference issues.

They are mine now, all mine.
To bad it will be a while until I know how well they work.

It would be nice if you post impressions, photos and dimensions here. Someone want's to make local copy if they work. Also as far I see, there is need to weld subrframe a bit, jus to make fixation points for these alloy mounts.
