Jowey Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 for someone who can weld and use a grinder it is a fairly straight forward task.The difficulty comes with access, (might not be such a problem with the 3cyl TDI lump)Had to have everything stripped out of the way to get in there on mine.Take these to any performance, custom or classic resto garage.They shouldn't have a problem doing it, about an hours work I would have thought.

3lward Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 sorry to dig up a old thread.But cutting into the main structural part of the car just to go lower? are some people just dim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 People lowering cars creating bump steer, peopler running stretch..................... we could go on. If its done right with some decent quality steel welded in then its not all that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its done right with some decent quality steel welded in then its not all that bad.and i disagree with all those things.If you look at it if you have a nasty bump on the front end then its just gonna bend as its gotta be weaker than the rest of the chassis.

Pete Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Not if you plate it up with the same material you chop out mate. Makes sense really. Yeah you're chopping into the chassis but if you're replacing it with just as thick metal in the correct way then it's perfectly safe. That's why not all metal structures have to be all out box sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 One of my mates is good mates with the new owner. The other week he showed me a pic of him on his back with the arosa stuck right up in the air and he had his grinder and welder out on the subframe, i was like nooooo!

Jowey Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I think he said he was plating the subframe as it was getting a bit thin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
