At last a replacement subframe

[Carolyn]

I've taken a good look at this and, knowing what it takes to design and produce such things, I think the price is about right.  Certainly not cheap but there will be a good market for it.

About time too....but I have a few nearly new subframes in storage so should last the life time of the car.

Flipping excellent.

I like that, but as mine will only be a road car and i have a new toyota subframe in the garage just in case,  i guess i dont really need one...

I feel like this needs a new kind of like button,with a champagne bottle

Not stated on the website but from his connected on Facebook it looks to be up to 5kg heavier.

The adjustability is good, but if my current subframe lasted 20 years and I'm going to replace it,I'm not sure I can justify spending twice as much on a heavier subframe instead of the replacement OEM one - it's all good being stronger but if it doesn't need to be it is a waste of mass

True.  But time is running out on new replacements.  Especially Pre Facelift.

I have a stash of PFL sub frames...

Also, Zurawski Motorsport has developed a Stainless sub-frame, in final prototyping. I like its design more personally, however the Woodsport has adjustments for lowered cars to reposition the control arms which is handy.

Just looked at this, love it. Great example of relatively low cost high quality laser cut steel for aftermarket parts.

I'm buying one of the Kanjo subframes and fitting it next summer 2025 back in the UK at the same time I'm fitting these the full package: https://d2racinguk.com/shop/toyota-mr2-roadster-mr-s-adjustable-arm-package/
(Paul at Woodsport has told me that they have now shut down for fitting because of covid, but still can sell the subframes. and he was happy to adjust the frame to accept the SMT pumps ect)

I fitted new KYB shocks and springs and related parts 2 years ago now -
(And I know nothing so be kind), - I'm also looking to replace all the other rusted parts too, like the sway bays, drop links, front control arms, coupling rods, Coupling Rod, stabiliser bars and anything else I find before I come back.

What are the recommendations for particularly the sway bars front and rear? I'm currently looking at the Cusco bars, but don't know enough to confidently buy them. I'm not tracking the car but I have some very windy twisty mountain roads right on my doorstep here in Spain which make for very lively drives.

I'm also looking for recommendations to set them up in Scotland as I'll be up just north of Edinburgh Aug 2025, but could be anywhere as I'm taking the car back via the Plymouth ferry.
