New Item - Tubular Subframe and Rear Suspension for Manual Goblins

[Mirage775]

The real, true answer is, if you don't know, then you don't need it.

But, the more-pleasant-but-still-true answer is, it's functional. It corrects the rear suspension geometry (which only needs corrected because it's actually front suspension geometry from a Cobalt). Stronger, no.

It's an add-on for enthusiasts and track-goers.

It doesn't matter, they don't have one finished for an auto, so it really doesn't affect my situation...

Is it just appearance or actually functional, stronger?

If you're going full on race car with super stiff springs, it doesn't really matter. I'm old and wanted a softer daily driver ride. I redesigned and built my own to meet my needs.

Because they haven't made one yet... Adam said his mothers' in an auto and they're going to do it first. I think he said a mount has to be welded to the tubular auto frame or something. I'm not in a hurry, I've spent a small fortune on this thing over the last 2 weeks already...

Miss Brenda’s drives pretty good, they let us drive hers last goblinfest which is why we ordered a Goblin and also got ride and drive with Ross and I can’t remember who’s it was my wife rode with but it was orange. You could always be the first to fab one to fit an auto

It’s highly functional, even for street guys. If it’s needed, is questionable, but does it eliminate all rear toe wiggle? Absolutely. The cat’s meow is a true UCA system in the rear eliminating the strut. I know 1 had done it, but real no reports on findings. If I ever get r&d time back, I’ll do this, but until then, I’ll keep what I got, which works well.

Ark, do you know what they are correcting as far as geometry goes? I'm pretty out of the loop these days.

It eliminates the toe rod.

 

[Sebnuts]

They also make the front and rear mounts horizontal, which fixes the backwards "anti" geometry (squat, lift) from the FWD suspension setup.
I did a full analysis of the "stock" suspension here if you want to read more about it.

What those two guys said.
