Vili 18 Posted May 24, 2017 I was just wondering if anyone has tried or made research on moving front subframe suspension arm pickup points? If originals where cut out and new ones made say 3 cm higher you could get car lower while still maintain below parallel control arm position. Of course steeringrack would need to moved as well to keep bumbsteer at minimum. This thought came to my mind when I was changing tyres on my bmw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xy8 4 Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) There are some clearance issues if I remember correctly. I did modify base model subframe couple of years ago. Plan was to gain caster , reduce anti dive and bumpsteer , but after couple of days of measuring and thinking I gave up and just welded in rear pickup points further out compared to gti subframe and got about 4 degrees of caster .

petert 578 Posted May 24, 2017 If you weld new rear mounts in at an angle, you can fit adjustable arms and dial in as much caster as you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xy8 4 Posted May 25, 2017 Yes , you are right ,but in our country if I want to keep it road legal , it at least has to look like oem . This mod didn't cost me anything and it was big improvement ,caster was under 2 degrees on right side and about 2 degrees left side . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
