The 034 Motorsport Stainless Steel Closing Collar Subframe Upgrade Kit Designed to simulate subframe shifting and noise in the Audi TT, TT-S, and TT RS (8J). This high-quality upgrade package helps secure the subframe by utilizing CNC-machined mineral washers, replacing the original factory bolts and perfectly aligning the subframe. The result is a cleaner chassis, improved handling, and a permanent solution to common issues such as banging and popping when cornering or stopping and starting. This kit eliminates the familiar subframe knocking/popping/creaking noise often caused during slow cornering, on-ramps, and stops. While countering temporary fixes such as factory shim repairs, this permanent solution from 034 Motorsport directly addresses the fundamental problem with the factory subframe design. The rings' strong and durable stainless steel construction prevents distortion, meaning this kit will last a lifetime without requiring permanent subframe modifications. Installation is simple and can be completed in about an hour. The kit includes specially designed bolts with factory-correct threaded ends, ensuring a secure fit without damaging the subframe. User experiences indicate minimal to no NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) transmission into the cabin, although this may be subjective. If you do experience NVH greater than expected, inspect the installation and contact 034 Motorsport technical support.
