You got the front and rear tube subframes? In for pictures and interested in the weight savings you acquired.

Im intetested in the complete setup for the "group buy" price. I hope this happens someday soon.

I would also be interested in a front/rear set of subframes. But unfortunately, probably not until next year. Spent too much money on the car already this year.

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.

I will ask Bob If the number is still good. It should be. If not, can't be that much more.

Don't forget its 1500 upfront for the jig and 15000 additional for five sets. Total bill is 16.5k for 5 sets. And BTW they do come with a cad design spread. Will also have to sign a secrets and privacy agreement.

Jeremy,

If i get one made later on, simply cannot afford it now, can i get it made as is? I don't care about saving money on it in the group buy as I'm unable to do so.
