If your refering to the red sedan then this is NOT what they did. Because of that car being certed when it clearly shouldnt of been, has caused me a few proplems with certifying this one. The cert guys have been told to go real hard with any subaru conversions. Ive had 2 cert guys go over what ive done and are happy with it.

The red sedan had its steering rack moved down and caused the car to bump steer.

A combination of speed and that issue is what may of caused the crash.

Will post up more pictures next week. (:

yea it was certed but there was some issues with the guys cert'ed it after...

And they screw up the geometry right royally!!

Good point. I guess what im implying is lowering the subframe isnt much different to lowering the suspension. The main thing to me is this car will be legal and safe to drive.

The car hasnt been built to race, drag or win any shows.

But are you going to keep the ride height at the factory level?? So then effectively the geometry will be "not much different" to lowering the car by 75mm?? Or are you also going to lower the car, effectively lowering the suspension arms ~150mm and utterly decimating the geometry?

And really you should be spacing the rear subframe down by the same amount otherwise you are going to end up with a really low roll centre on the front end and a comparably higher roll centre at the rear which will most likely make the car quite tail happy. And then you're gonna make it rwd?? Good luck going round corners

Also have you also spaced the rear mount of the front arms down 75mm so that the suspension geometry "isn't much different to lowering the car"??

The anti-lift kits go 10-20mm in the opposite direction and they make quite a noticable difference........

Wouldnt touch it with my 10ft pole.

Hmmmm got me thinking about the possibilities of a mid engine conversion

rip your back seats out and mount it there....you could even mount the seats at the far back so your back seat passengers can keep an eye on your engine for you. 8)
