Beatrush alum subframe for sale, $475 new
Local pickup only, unlike some other subframes, this one can fit easily in the trunk if you come buy it.
It's brand new and was meant to replace the do-luck aluminum subframe I have currently which hangs low over the DP. It was test fit only and the fit and finish are awesome, the only problem is that it doesn't allow full movement of the swingarm with an ALK, which I have. It just touches the swingarm at rest so if the suspension unloaded the arm would bind. I didn't want to try machining away material so I'll stick with the do-luck, even though it's not as nice.
No box but has all the parts, instructions, hardware, stickers, etc.

Hey, you should take some pics so we can see what the problem is. What kind of ALK do you have? I currently hav one my mine with the beatrush subframe and i have no binding what so ever.

The swingarm was touching the subframe at the green circles and I was mounting the subframe with the car sitting on the tires. If I had jacked up the car, the swingarm either would not have moved, in which case it would be resting/binding on the subframe or it would have swung out and started wearing a groove in either the subframe or the swingarm. I didn't want to chance either and even though it looked like all I would have to do is machine a little bit of material away, I would prefer to sell it rather than do a hack fix.
My ALK is Whiteline.

wow, that's so weird... I guess maybe it's the design of the whiteline ALK because i know they give you spacers for the stock subframe. perhaps you may need to use the same spacers on there so that the swingarm clears it. Ever thought of using the Beatrush ALK? i perosnally like it better and it seems to have a better turn-in than the whiteline or Perrin. Dont quote me on it, but it's just my feedback from going on the track with both different settings. but good luck on the sale!

When I bought it, the common idea was that this would work without spacers. Plus when you see how nicely it fits (minus the ALK problem), it would be a crime to use spacers.
