Any thoughts on what you will be doing with the bent subframe? I'd like to get one to test out developing a real camber adjustment scheme.
Congrats on the work - just remember to tell your alignment guy you've had the subframes down so he can check your wheelbase from side to side. I had to drop the front subframe on my Supra to fix an oil pan leak and I did manage to get everything back in place accurately, but he told me it doesn't always happen that way.

Answer to some questions:
1. it may look complicated, but it really isn't....i do wish sometimes it had a live axle rather that RIS>>>Lol
2. If you want the bent sub frame its yours (u pay for shipping)
3. In bc canada rebuilt vehicles are treated as regular cars, so no difference in insurance costs, or buy out if you crash ur car.

anyhow...i looked at how they did the rear camber adjustment. it looks like the redrilled the lower control arm bolt hole at the crossmember and moved the control arm about 1/4" inward. you can still see where the washer was before. in the front they used new bolts for the upper A arms to reposition the mounting point. no abnormal tire wear since.

I was looking at my cousins 3GS who got his alignment fixed at Miami Chassis...they can fix camber on almost any car. They work on posches, bmw's and mercedes all day long with big wheels.
