    Looking for Garagistic reviews

    A friend of mine was telling me about Garagistic and their subframe reinforcement kits and subframe bushings. How is this brand compared to the Turner motorsport subframe reinforcement?

    I was looking at these two different kits.
    E46 Complete Chassis Reinforcement Kit - (323, 325, 328, 330, and M3) – Garagistic

    E46 BMW Rear Chassis Reinforcement Plates – Garagistic

    Any advice or reviews are appreciated.

    I've used their stuff. Their price reflects their quality. I bought the differential bushings for my m3 awhile back, it fit well new. But when I dropped my subframe to do a vincebar install (after 20k miles), I noticed the bushings deformed and was started to slowly come out, replaced with oem diff cover. When I bought the subframe bushings, I ended up returning them because Kaiv, who did my bottom subframe reinforcement, showed me that the bushings weren't as well made as akg bushings which have a small section cut out for the machine welds so that the bushing sits perfectly on the subframe. I also bought some parts for my e30, was just ok with it due to lower pricing. Your better off buying the subframe plates from companies like CMP, reddish motorsport, PSDesign, vincebar/vinceskins it's much more extensive.

      I've used their stuff in the E30 world as well. It's unfortunate because they seem like a nice group of enthusiasts, but their parts are not the highest end. In my personal experience, their E30 front subframe reinforcement kit needed a lot of fine tuning before they would fit properly. From shops I know + trust, they say to stay away from Garagistic because the price is not worth the fitment headaches + lack of longterm durability. AKG is my choice for poly.

        I'm not even sure if you should buy the TMS plates (though I do believe they were recently revised). I'd stick with Redish Motorsport (PSDesigns), CMP, Vinceskinz, or something similar

          i agree, I would not buy the TMS plates.

          I've seen cracks/failure even after the TMS plates were installed.
