The CPE 996/997 Lower Subframe Brace/Support allows you to successfully relocate your LS powertrain forward retaining the factory trunk latch assembly in ‘02-‘12 vehicles. This part was made out of necessity as the cast aluminum brace/support needs to be extensively modified to accommodate the additional clearance and in turn leaves room for fatigue in the form of stress cracks and more!
This package includes the following ...
- (1) CPE 996/997 Lower Subframe Brace/Support
Uses factory hardware and has two M6x1.0 holes/threads machined into the side for support clamps for proper line management if running an oil cooler and/or Accusump!
NOTE:
996.1 (‘99-‘01):
The lower subframe brace is a direct replacement.
996.2 (‘02-04):
The lower subframe brace is a direct replacement (if keeping the powertrain in the factory position). If moving the powertrain forward to retain the factory latch the lower subframe brace will need to be shaved roughly 5mm to clear the transmission/adapter plate.
997 (‘05-‘12):
The lower subframe brace is a direct replacement regardless of powertrain orientation
