Psst! Blake! The moving of the upper control arm with the slots going down and rear ward adds caster in addition to camber.

The easy way to align the frame is with a digital angle finder on the cross shaft to make sure they are in the same angle during the alignment period.

Killer product by the way.

Not a bad idea. You can use the stock position and something like the ATS tall spindles, or the G-Mod location and the stock spindles.

Correction, thanks tyler, i suppose what i ment was that it mostly affects the camber curve/change but yes it will add caster that could be shimmed out/or back to your chosen setting,
some have asked if the Gmod will work with a tall spindle also like the ATS unit and the answer is no, well not no just not necessary the tall spindle and the Gmod both accomplish the same thing in different ways, feel free to add to the discussion tyler

my comment about adjustable castor gain was thay one could in theory set the shaft at a different anglt than stock as the slots allow lifting the front bolt up. while leaving the rear down... this will give a different castorgain and antidive... and that will... be the proverbial biatch to dial in....

Blake Foster 06-18-2008 07:44 AM

i theory yes... but there is not that much "slop" ( technical term) the shafts really only want to slide parallel in the slots. they might rock(for lack of a better word) 1 deg.
so it really is not something to be concerned about.

Got the Speed Tech high clearance control arms that come with the Speed Tech subframe complete package. Here's a few pics the control arms and sway bars. More pics in my build thread. These things are awesome. Speed Tech say you can put a 10" rim with 7" backspace with this package.

For anyone interested in the Speed Tech subframe...I thought I'd post pics of it powder coated and assembled. This thing is awesome.

How much would i save going the speed tech route over DSE? What are the major differences as for a quality and options? I don't mean to hi jack the thread by any means it just seems that you guys have a lot of knowledge on these products. I assume y'all have done extensive research so i' m wondering if you could enlighten me on the 2 frames that i will be buying in the near future. I was leaning dse but after reading some more reviews I'm still considering Speed tech. I guess i just want the pros and cons affordability and function of both


sorry if its hard to understand blame ambien.:fluffy:

The Speedtech frame is right at $2k less then a DSE.

Another interesting question on this. I know of someone that put a LS2 in his car on stock sub and used the mounts that dropped the engine to get his KB to fit under a stock height cowl. Does the speedtech frame lower the engine any? There is a possibility of running a blower on my car and I really want it to fit under a stock cowl hood.

Maybe not the right area to ask but we're discussing the speedtech frame so worth a shot!

p.s. That frame looks NICE!
