I will be putting a ls3 blown in the car with a 6spd. It will be used for weekend driving, no autocross or racing events but I like to drive hard and have a well handling car. I was looking at Speedtech stuff, roadster shop stuff, DSE and ridetech. I am leaning towards the roadster shop spec chassis because of the price. I can get the chassis for around $13,000 with the options I want and the rear end already on the chassis. I also like the fact that it is full frame so it can support the horsepower I will be putting in the car. The speedtech stuff looks great but after doing it all will probly be in the 20k range. The ridetech stuff is nice but with the options and rear end, it'll be almost at where the roadster shop chassis is and Id rather just buy that. DSE, that's also in the high teen to 20 range with all options. This is not a show car so I really don't care what it looks like under the car, they will all look good once done. I just want the car to handle the horsepower and handle good. Any suggestions from your experience would be very greatly appreciated. Also the car will be mini tubed. Thank You
It looks like you have a pretty cool project underway!

All of the manufacturers that you have been researching are top notch and make great components. Picking between them really all comes down to what your long term goals are, how invasive do you want the components to be and what type of investment range are you looking to stay in. They all have their components on cars with four digit HP figures and when installed correctly, will take whatever you want to throw at them.

Our 1st Gen kit can be found under multiple cars and just about any autocross event across the country. We've been running the same kit under our 48hr Camaro that you can buy straight out of the catalog for your car.
There aren't any top secret components under there that aren't obtainable by our customers. The car is a test bed and a testament to the quality of components that we manufacture. We beat on that car like the Waffle House beats its eggs!

Now, I know that isn't what you have in mind for your car but I mention it because its important. Knowing that the same suspension components under your car are under some of the most competitive autocross cars across the country really says something. Just because you may not ever push your car that hard, doesn't mean that you shouldn't have the option to.

Just because it isn't a show car doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice looks for performance. Our components are all assembled right here in Indiana and powder coated a chassis black for a subtle appearance. We don't require the use of an aftermarket subframe so the one that you already have painted is pretty much ready for our components right out of the box. The rear cradle is designed to bolt in and is minimally invasive. There is no drastic cutting of the frame rails or floor pans to install it and when paired with the Currie housing that we offer, you wont even have to weld tabs to the rear end. All the measuring and cutting is done for you, pick your gear set and it comes ready to assemble.

You didn't mention if you were planning on installing it yourself or having it installed but I believe I can get you set up from front to rear, housing and center section included, for right at $10k. That will include the complete coilover kit, our Tru Turn Steering components as well as front AND rear sway bars.

I appreciate your research, I know that if you ask around there will be plenty of customers who would be more than happy to give you their feedback on the Ridetech product line up. Ask their opinions, compare and contrast between manufacturers and establish which setup will be right for you, I don't think you will be disappointed in what we have to offer. If you ever have any questions, feel free to contact me direct. I will be more than happy to help. 812-481-4737
