my friend had the autotech sub-frame on his rocco when he drove into a curb, the hit
caused the a-arm to bend 60 degrees, the tie rod bent, the ball joint bent!, the mag
was scraped and even the poly suspension bushing got torn! ... but the sub-frame
didn't move a millimeter! .. now that's insurance!
