ASR subframe reinforcement braces for most of the popular Hondas!!

The A Spec Racing subframe Brace strengthens your subframe, preventing it from tearing behind the mounting hardware of a large-diameter sway bar by enlarging the contact region between the two as well as limiting torsional force on the subframe sheet metal.

Features

- ASR 6061-T6 aluminum subframe reinforcement bar

- 6061-T6 aluminum support plates

- Installation Hardware

As you can see from the above picture. Gussets have been added to the boxy subframe to increase its strength and rigidity. This allows the driver to better feel the rear end of the car.

Subframe painted in 'stonechip', which is a plasticky paint. It was sprayed on using a compressor. This went over the primer.

You will not win bushing! All this extra work because I refused to go the ghetto route and burn out the rubber and cut the rest out with a saws-all.

Pay attention to the holes drilled into the subframe in order to lighten it; Also notice the air-jack support. It's hollow to minimize weight.

You can also see the Spoon Sport oil cooler for the rear differential laying flat.

Also, look at the dry carbon fiber belly pan with a hole for the rear air-jack.

Lots of tinkering went into building this S2000.
