Default Art Morrison vs Detroit Speed.

I want to buy a sub frame for my camaro but i am up in the air between Art Morrison and DSE so i figured i would ask everyone their thoughts.

Speedtech was good enough for my front end. But with the rear Im going with Morrison. The Morrison rear just has too many positives.

I think the bottom line is get the one you think looks best. The performance of the two is pretty much a wash.

Both are great choices.. we've tested cars with both and they consitently turn in our fastest times.

The DSE unit offers a more OEM look while the AME unit is C6 based. You can't go wrong either way so get what you like.

If I had to do over again, I would have my eye on a Art Morrison full frame:

The DSE sub is the ****. I'm not just saying that because I heard it was. I have it in my car. Fit and finish is outstanding and the handling and ride is on or beyond new sport cars. The DSE sub is tested and ran on the track all year long. You can't beat DSE support either. Frank said they both handle very similar. I'm just commenting on my experience with the frame and company.

Isnt the DSE about 2 grand more? (not sure) What are you doing in the rear. Check with both companies to see if you can get a package price even if you purchase the rear parts later. Second before purchasing from whoever, HAVE THEM COMMIT to a lead time for shipment. One thing Im finding out in this market is the BS out there from when its coming (Not talking about the main source frame builders but vendors who sell there product)

Between the two I would agree with Rupp, its a preference choice and the aesthetics you like.

I went with AME over DSE due to the fact that its c6 based and a little lighter then DSE, and I also went with the AME triangulated 4bar rear at the same time so I chose the keep it all AME. both are awesome products and it is a personal choice, it took 2 weeks from the time I ordered to the time I recievied them. I cant say anything bad about my experience with AME thats for sure. my 2 cents anyways
