Low Profile Front Lower Subframe Mounts

**MidwestA4** · 10-20-2008 01:42 PM

Does anyone know if a company or private seller makes lower profile FL subframe mounts?

My car is quite low and the odd structural shape of the mounts scrape on many road surfaces or steep driveway entrances.

These things are simply thin gauge metal as well. I think it would be a nice little upgrade to do a piece in billet aluminum that has a lower profile.

I was just wondering if these are already available somewhere before I make something up in solidworks and cut it out on the CNC at work.

I dont think anything has ben done. How do you grab that without grabbing your oilpan?

i have a 2.8L the oilpan is tucked up higher than both the subframe and subframe mounts.

Are you talking about the goofy triangle piece at the rear of the subframe?
I'm sure you could make a set out of flat stock, that way it wouldn't have that big dimple hanging down.

.... or raise the car, obviously that shit is REALLY low.

Yeah the triangle bracket with the lump in it.

Pshh.. I'm only at 23" up front. I'll be spending all winter cutting, fabricating and clearancing the wells in order to go lower and fit the Carlssons I've been wanting to jam in there.
