CLUBSPORT S ALUMINIUM SUBFRAME INTO A CUPRA 5F?

[Fer16v]

Maybe someone tried this before. As i see, cheap to obtain, as is an Oem part in Audi, even for a A3TDi...

Question is...just plug&play? I'm reading about the fact that you need to buy it with a special kit of spacer plates and fasters...???


Regards!

I'm pretty sure the old boy had one fitted but I'm not sure how it went .

Quite a few people have done it, as it’s just an Audi S3 one. I think you need different bolts, And maybe a different lower mount. But you’ll definitely need a new wheel alignment.

Yes it’s just standard subframe from A3. It’s plug and play and just need the audi factory mounting bolts and washers, also the Audi bolts for thE lower swing arms. The Leon bolts length are different.

I can’t say 100% I was just going off memory.

Hello. Can you provide part numbers for the bolts and washers? Thank you.

I wonder what this will bring. A (slightly) lower weight? A stiffer construction and because of that a more direct steering feel?

Has anyone other than The Old Boy had this done and is it a good upgrade ?
