rear subframe replacement
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi, im putting coilovers on the rear of the mini, but rather than going the traditional rear beam idea im considering just putting points on the shell to hold the radius arms in situe.
Im wondering if anyone has done/has pictures of peoples shells and points for the radius arms.

What i was considering doing was welding the inner mounts in completly and static. but id obviously need to be able to adjust the camber/toe and also remove the arm when i need to. This is where im a little unsure what to do about the outter mount so if anyone has and drawings or ideas it would be great to see them

Regards

Dave

You will need to make either very long brackets which will make them flimsy unless they weigh a ton, or extend your radius arms to get the wheel in the centre of the arch.....

i was going to make a way of tying them into the floor at the same time. the extra dimension mnight make it a little more sturdy i thought. I see what you mean though, the subframe adds a fair distance from pin the heelboard

You could do it with tubular radious arms, re inforced, they may weigh abot more but still lighter than a beams ect

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

Have a look through miniminor63's build thread. Tubular trailing arms fixed direct to the shell, with paropriate strengthening tied into the cage, fully adjustable toe and camber.
