I'm working on a frame now but I need a rack and pinion from an sti to see if the hole pattern is different. The bottom of the frame as substantially more bracing than the wrx frame. token you by chance have a rack I can test? Or if any one has a spare? I am also looking for a sti tranny mount for a supper light tranny mount and cross. Please Login or Register to post a reply

SteelSolutions Re: Subaru front subframe project!! also need a stock frame March 21, 2011 12:37PM Registered: 02/26/2008 Posts: 648 Um that was a lot of work. stock rack fits!!!!! the sway bar is a 3/4 nascar bar and it should be about the same as stock might be a little stiffer. If any one is interested let me know I'm getting really busy. Please Login or Register to post a reply

Jon Burke Re: Subaru front subframe project!! also need a stock frame March 21, 2011 01:12PM Registered: 01/03/2008 Posts: 1,402 the nascar sway bar is confusing me...this replaces the OEM sway bar, or its just a different 'option'? guess I'm just having a hard time visualizing where everything fits, which is disappointing, considering all hours I've logged on my back looking up at the bottom of my car.

BillyElliot Re: Subaru front subframe project!! also need a stock frame March 21, 2011 06:04PM Registered: 08/11/2008 Posts: 557 This pretty much explains the type of bar it is. Pretty awesome when you don't like your bar and want to change it at service. Please Login or Register to post a reply

KTurner Re: Subaru front subframe project!! also need a stock frame April 19, 2011 02:21PM Registered: 01/27/2006 Posts: 364 Have you thought about the front jack point at all? I know this thing will be strong enough to jack but pretty much every aftermarket skidplate (if you can call them that sometimes) mounts to the front jack point.
