Subframe lock bolts


Recommended Posts

Anyone used these and actually noticed a difference? Guessing people put them in when they put in swaybars etc so they wouldnt really know. About 40nzd on ebay so cheap little upgrade. Or can you just remove the rubber bushes in the subframe mounting bolts and hard mount the whole thing? Havent had a good look couldve last weekend but was too busy swearing at the axle that wasnt quite coming out.

I used them on my car, no difference at all but both of my rear subframes were hard mounted. but they did pull the subframe very straight. perfectly even rear alignment on a factory setup.

Much easier using them rather than swapping subframes

had a set in the forester. only noticed them at full boost in 3rd foot hard up it around a really tight corner in the parapara highway. drove up, chucked them in drove back. not quite as much movement in the arse. BUT normal driving, day to day stuff, it\'ll only make the alignment in the back end sit true. may have been placebo effect after putting them in, i don\'t know.

awesome for alignment though, do 50,000 km and it was still exactaly as it was set

You may not notice the difference with just that, but they have to be worthwhile... the amount of slop the diff carrier can have without them is

obvious when you see that it\'s probably not even centered... and your rear suspension is tied to the diff carrier... so you are getting a lot of

dynamic wheel alignment changes without them. I put them in my old STi and had the front of rear diff lock kit as well...

no more banging rear diff with aggressive changes after those two kits...good stuff IMO.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
