The weight is an advantage but the real reason for wanting one is the unbelievable amount of adjusts you have now. Not to mention making all the rubber in the suspension go away.

My car will be a drag/highway car.
How do you see this performing for me Erron?
I think it would be just fine. For a drag car, the real benefit would be the weight. For us road guys it will be the adjust-ability and the lack of rubber.
:bump:
Alright so here's everything laid out so far.
1) 8 hrs of chassi probe work and tracing of front and rear subframes for solid work loading $750
2) 3R Racing Optimized Suspension Geometry Analysis $750
3) CAD design for front tubular subframe, control arms, and upright adaptation $2250
4) CAD design for rear tubular subframe, control arms, and upright adaptation $2250
5) Cost to build 5 full front and rear subframes, provide new control arms and end links, and a Moton, JRZ, Penske, or Bilstein upright adapter $6500.
6) Materials $2600
Total: $15,100
Split between 5 people and that's $3020 for a set. That will be for a front and rear subframe, control arms, suspension links, and upright adaptation.
$1510 for the rear subframe and $1510 for the front. That's as Real as it gets for a group buy. Sorry to say 3R Racing has a minimum and they won't touch it for less than that price as it's quite a bit below their standard minimum. I wanted to do just the rear for now but it doesn't look like the geometry will work unless you do them in pairs. The front and rear will need to be swapped out simultaneously.
If there is no interest it will be an as-build and nevermind.
Only 3k for f/r? Thats something i could find the coin for given enough lead time. Im primarily interested in the weight reduction and the suspension being corrected for being 2" lower than design. Will this still accept OE struts? Any estimate on weight loss?

Jason really has me thinking about this, interested in weight loss numbers. That is my real interest in doing this.
Same here, now sign up damnit!
Hmmm...
Is there a time frame on this?
