Do-Luck Aluminum Subframe
Anyone have any experience with this? Is it a direct bolt on after taking off the stock U subframe? How does it affect the radiator support?
I'm looking to replace mine because I dented my stock subframe and thinking about upgrading.
THANKS!

I don't have any experience with this unit. That being said, from the photo it looks similar to the cusco subframe unit, so you might be able to get some feedback from folks that have that unit or places that sell it (like vivid).

BWA HAHAHAHA. I'll work on my "cool" factor just for you. I'm fairly new to the Subie thing. Originally a VW guy and there's basically just 1 forum for VW's which is VWVortex. I didn't know if I-club had its loyal fans that doesn't go to Nasioc. Wanted to harvest as much info as possible...ish all mate.

Do-Luk makes steel and aluminum versions...~$225- ~$475, IIRC.
I looked at them and when I get a bit of extra $$$ I may have to do the aluminum one...

I'll second that. I mamanged to hold it up over my head and lock it back in place myself after my FSB install. No way that sucker weighs 45 pounds. Still, if the Do-Luck is only 6.5... that's nice. A little more stiffness would be nice, too.
