Default Subframes

Hello guys got a general question.

So I have the TSS fab rear subframe for my 2006 WrX..its amazing and I love it.. I also have the Oswald performance subframe (U brace replacement) I was thinking about using the front TSS fab subframe (with the u frame bolt point options.) And just wanted to know if anybody has any experience with using both of them together and was there any issues getting them to play nice with each other.
Thanks.

Not sure if you actually need the u-frame with the TSS subframe.
Suggest you contact TSS or their Vendor to find out.

yea you don't need the U frame for the TSS subframe.. But im trying to get a bit extra support up front by using the Oswald performance subframe that uses the bolt locations where the stock U brace goes on the subframe.. The Oswald performance one does not go up to the front on the radiator support like the stock U frame does but its a U frame replacement used to stiffen the front end (including the oem subframe)I just looking if anybody has any use with both..

This was one of the first front frames, the holes didn't 100% match, not far off and I could have made it work. I am sure its all sorted now. This was take in 2015, I no longer use either part at this time.

funk32, that picture is beautiful.

I'm in the same boat as OP. I'll get the front frame this Black Friday.

Wow, fascinating! I was just wondering if those two are compatible. Sorry to bump an old thread, but why is it that you don't use either part anymore? (As of 4½ years ago) Did you find a better solution?

Also, I saw that Oswald Performance started making parts again, after several-year hiatus ***128526;

@WreaKLoosE, how did it go? Did you use both an Oswald U brace and TSS front subframe at the same time?
