As soon as I saw the shop is in NY, I figure it had to be Nelson. Yeah for "costume: parts.


Hey Steve@NRG, I'd love to see what the weight savings is. Any chance you have the original VR4 subframe to make a weight comparison?

387 lbs was the weight savings between the front and back sub frames

amazing! saw the price quote for the front, is it the same for the rear?

if someone does the front and rear is there a combo price?

The hardware we use is all NAS bolts. The rod ends we use are extremely high quality. Just saying this before I say the price because its not cheap

basically to do the front AND back, it would be about 8000$ I know that may sound like alot of $$$ to save around 400 lbs, but everything is fully adjustable and we can offer alot of adjustability in relation to alignment. Way more then factory.

400lbs off is a huge huge cut in weight. This is also weight at the polar ends of the car... hard to put a price on that sort of upside.

Is this for a drag car? The front geometry doesn't look exactly like a road race car and that would be my focus.

For track hounds a front subframe with improved pick up points and custom control arms would be a great way to improve both geometry and cut weight off the heavy end of the car getting it closer to 50/50.

Nice.
