Garagistic E30 adjustable Rear Subframe exchange program

[red911turbo]

Hey! I've been trying to get a hold of you guys!!
Phone calls and emails have not been replied to since last week.

What's going on?

[garagistic]

We actually have 2-3 cores being reworked right now. So no time will be lost looking for cores! Place your order today and send us back your subframe once you get your reinforced and adjustable unit from us!

[garagistic]

We got a couple of cores in stock being reworked now. If you want a custom powdercoat color this would be the ideal time to let us know and have a quicker turn around time!

+1 for this - they will pay for themselves in tire were.

I didn't get mine from garagistic - I got mine years, and years ago form some one selling them on the forum. But it's the same deal.

I can tell you that the $200 is worth every penny for a saving tires on a street car. So it kinda pays for it's self. Nothing worse then on a street car to throw away tires just cause the inside is corded.

My alignment guy had no issues getting the rear of my e30 to what I wanted. Plenty of camber to have fun, tire clearance for 225's, little bit of toe, and good tire ware. It's awesome to be able to dial that in on the rear.

+1 for garagistic!

Thank you!

We actually have two of these bad boys in stock and ready to ship. Combined with our delrin or poly bushings for a package deal!

We have two adjustable subframes in stock and ready to ship (painted). Powdercoat option would add one week to turn around time.

[garagistic]

By the end of next week we should have 5 modified subframes in stock and ready to ship!

[garagistic]

Please send your cores back!

We need cores!!!

My passenger side toe is too far out right now.

My question is: how do you measure the core to make sure it is straight?

Forgive me if this is obviously stated elsewhere.

Yes we verify the core before mods are made.

This looks awesome! I'll likely be doing this in the next month or so with new bushings. Do the stiffer bushings add a lot of vibration to the car? I know the motor, trans, and diff mounts do, but not sure about the rear sub/trailing arm bushings

It depends on which bushings are selected. The 80a is best for street. It also depends on where the bushings are. Transmission bushings are the most notable. The rear trailing arms would not be. We make package deals so pm us your needs.

Yes our units are similar to the ones others offer. The differential reinforcement is one that we offer that others do not. We have seen them crack around the differential mounting points.

We carry the reinforcements you mention:
Front Subframe Engine Mount Reinforcement Plates
Front Swaybar Reinforcement Plates
Rear Swaybar Trailing Arm Reinforcement Kit

Our front subframe exchange program has the sway bar and engine reinforcements. They all come in black powdercoat (although we have done red ones from time to time). Those can be found here:

The trailing arm service details can be found here:

http://store.garagistic.com/ocart/e30-rear-trailing-arm-reinforcement-kit

We reinforce the sway bar tabs on those as well.

You can pm us or email us your needs. We make package deals so let us know your needs. Thanks!

Hi, very interested in your service for my '87 325is. I've gone through pages of E30 suspension upgrades on AKG and Ireland Engineering and since I don't weld, I wasn't sure what my options were for the various reinforcement tabs and gussets that are recommended to correct weak points. I'm not pursuing any adjustable toe options or anything like that.

Are your reinforcement pieces similar to the units that Turner, AKG, Ireland Engineer (others?) offer? It's very appealing to be able to install a freshly powdercoated and reinforced subframe while I'm in there doing other suspension upgrades.

Sorry for the simple questions, but just going through AKG's page of E30 reinforcements are your refurbished subframes covering the following?

Front Subframe Engine Mount Reinforcement Plates
Front Swaybar Reinforcement Plates
Rear Swaybar Trailing Arm Reinforcement Kit

The only thing I would have to get a friend who welds to help me with is the Rear Swaybar Reinforcement Kit that goes to the body. I didn't see a listing with AKG for the differential mount reinforcement you mention, is that something you've experienced and recommend? I'm also interested in the trailing arm upgrades.

Is it best for me to pm you with my request or send an email through your website?

Does the rear control arm set up include bearing press services or would the bearings need to be pressed out prior too sending? Is their any additional cost to also have the control arms powdered coated?

+1^ I would like to know.

We have a few options for the rear control arm setup. Here is the break down:

You send your arms in, we include and weld the reinforcements and rear sway bar reinforcement for $154.00 + shipping. You will receive them bare (no paint).
Powdercoating option of most colors, add $75

Removing of your old wheel bearings and pressing in of new bearings (includes the wheel bearings) - add $175

The wheel bearings do not need to be removed prior to sending out. Hope this helps.

We also have rear trailing arm bushings:
