Thanks Ryan for stopping in so much lately as updating us on these things. I am sure i speak for many of us when i say take your time on making it perfect, we can wait a bit longer.
Hey cyphur if your still gonna start a new list once there released, please let me know and add me to it automatically. Once these are available ill be sending in the money for either the mild steel or chrome-moly(depending on price difference)weld in 3 point, black ones.
And thanks again Ryan.
For those of you that couldnt wait, i think your gonna be dissapointed you werent patient enough.

How will the 3point weld ins work with your torque arm that mounts to the crossmember area? I need a torque arm also and that plays a major role in my selection. thanks. i really need to go with the crossmember mount cause i keep breaking tailshafts, on a A4 to boot. thanks

Below are the pictures of a PROTO-TYPE. Please understand this is not the finished product but the first set we built. I say that because ends are not capped off, welds are only tacked and not all braces and gussets are in place.
As you can see we went with a tubular design, this allows us to tuck up the side rails to prevent clearance. If you look you will notice we then bend the braces down off the subframe connector, this really helps to reduce ground clearance issues. So far we have been able to keep it equal and possibly above the stock y-pipe, it is impossible to go any higher. Using a DOM tubing also allows us to now offer this item in Chrome Moly as well.
All item pieces are currently being manufactured now with hopes to release the finished set up soon.
Any questions please ask.

Thanks for the interest
REBELORD- These subframe connectors will work fine with the tunnel brace mounted torque arms. You may just have to re-adjust pinion angle after installing since these will bolt under the mount. But will work fine.
2K2WS6TA- There will be absolutely no cutting or trimming of the heat shield or any fuel lines to be moved, we took the time to work around them. These will be offered in our standard colors of Black or Red for no extra charge, other colors can be ordered for an extra charge. Price will be posted soon, I will be able to beat other competitors on the market if that helps.
Thank you!
Ryan

I am totally interested. They look great IMO. Can you weigh a set of both the steel and chromoly? Just want a comparison to SLP. How does ground clearance compare to SLP? And finally how much more are the chromoly? Thanks
