Good evening. I would like to share with DSMTuners community a product I have been working on for the past few months and something I had shared across a few other social media outlets. What began out of necessity for my own project, an AWD 4G63 swap for 3G CSM, has grown into something that can support the 1G DSM guys as well. I am referring to the 4 bolt rear tubular subframe and accompanying tubular control arms. The goal had been to improve the factory offering in terms of performance with something lighter, stronger and adjustable, all qualities desirable in an aftermarket high performance driving focus. To date some of the only options 1G guys had were solid subframe bushings or tubular mustache bars. For my Colt project I wanted to start with the lightest option I could while still retaining factory compatible parts, such as rear differential, hubs and coilover suspension.
The end result after significant design and redesign, trial and test fittings, is something I am proud to offer to the DSM community. I have configured the subframe such that it will require aftermarket control arms that utilize spherical rod ends along with most common available active toe eliminator kits for trailing arms. These frames still use the stock sway bar location, bushings and mounts and are offered with or without for more weight savings. In terms of weight savings this design saves 20 LBS over stock subframe and mustache bar (43 LBS). For more information or any questions feel free to send over a PM. I will be sharing more updates with DSM community as more products are rolled out in coming weeks and months. Thank you.
