rear subframe crack

oof yeah. The exit curbing on turn 10 at teh glen is pretty aggressive and I would think that this could have done it.

Just something to keep an eye on.

Replacement is about a 2 hour job, plus having to realign that wheel. Good used part from Patriot Deals on ebay was $70, so no big deal all around, but a good thing to check on your pre-track inspections

Breaking those is very common on 97-mid 98 boxsters. Starting somewhere in 98 Porsche upgraded to a beefier rear subframe. That's also why it's not recommended to install large wheels of the early cars. I highly recommend replacing both if you ever break one. Like it was said earlier, you'll have to get it realigned after you replace it. Might as well upgrade both while you're at it. I sell them for $50 each plus shipping. The beefier rear subframes break easily, just not as easy as the early ones. The front subframe is slightly different on the early cars too, but I've never seen anyone break those easily.
