Front Subframe Replacement/Reinforcement???
« on: December 13, 2007, 11:55:57 PM »
Front subframe weld cracked on passenger side motor mount bracket. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this and does anyone know where to get a aftermarket front subframe? I am looking in to turnermotorsport.com's Reinforcement kit but would rather replace with a updated subframe that is better.

Front Subframe Replacement/Reinforcement???

This is a relatively common issue.  Reinforcement is what most people do.  I have never seen any vendors selling heavier duty subframes for the E30.

Same thing you had 3 years ago. Used the Turner kit, so far so good.
