Also cut my seat subframes out today, tomorrow ill put them in the bender to put a 50mm 90 degree bend in them so they can bolt to the chassis


At the moment I havent lightened them yet, mostly because im not sure how much I could pull out of them without weakening them to the point where they might flex in the corners, im hoping somebody might give me a few clues on that front, looking at other companies I can either put holes into it or take more out of the centre to give it more of a U shape.

But for the moment I stuck them on the scales and they weigh 1.46kg for a pair so added to the 3.02kg for the seat means im saving 10kg on a pair of seats over stock.

Next thing I did was try my 16x8 on the front to see how if they work.


When the wheel is down and the suspension compressed, on the outside the wheel is inside the edge of the arch by 15mm, then when moving the wheel through its steering arc it clears the steering arm joint by about 3mm!! and under full lock clears the brake line about about 10mm.

So they are et12, I would say in an ideal world they would be about et5 as that would allow just a bit more clearance, but they should work as they are, might have to trim the splitter on the inside aswell but will know when my tyres are on.
