The last time we went there were 9 cars, including 2 supercharged Camaros. It's a great run up some incredible mountain roads. |
You can go to the lat g and ebay and all the car websites and see if you can find a wayne due for sale. I see them once in a while that come up for sale.
|
I run a stock sub with C5 breaks, Global West control arms and a set of ATS tall spindles. My car also has the updated/upgraded steering box and it drives great! Several of he members here on the board have driven my car and they have all been amazed. Sure there's a lot more that could be done, but like you I was on a budget for my build.
I say get the most bang for you buck with what you have. |
Even at 3k you will be hard pressed to completely build up your factory frame with a coil over conversion, tubular arms etc.
|
This guy might be willing to make a deal?
WD frame 4-sale FWIW, I am one of the guys that have driven Curtis' car and thought it drove great! YOu could go with his exact stup or upgrade to a coilover conversion from DSE or possibly ATS has some left. Contact Tobin at kore3 for brakes if you want to go with GM parts. And as stated earlier there is nothing wrong with an upgraded steering box. On a budget you can have a great driving car! |
The least expensive quality subframe you can buy is Speedtech. $4800.
If you want to upgrade your front sub, you can do a lot with these parts. We have sold and installed a lot of these packages and they work very well. Speedtech upper and lower arms (lowers don't do anything, just look cool) Ride Tech Tall Spindles (help correct camber gain and lowers the car 1 1/2") Hotchkis springs Hotchkis shocks Hotchkis Premium Steering Kit Hotchkis Tie Rod stiffeners DSE 600 steering box and rag joint (feels damn near like a R and P) Hotchkis sway bar You can do this for $2500! and you have a very good performaing subframe that will lower the stance also. |
If you are willing to be patient, and you are diligent, you will find a deal.
just watch the "for sale" sections of the various forums, craigslist, etc. and have your cash ready. There are a lot of folks re-prioritizing these days and selling stuff. I picked up my WD sub (pics in links below) this way, a year or so ago. |
alright thanx guys alotta knowledge on here i will continue to read the for sale portion and keep researching....just wanna do it right the first time...:D

why ride techs spindles over ATS??? they will still be avalible. and why a "dse" 600 box thats a regular assembly line 600 box over a ATS lee speq'ed box or sc&c's lee speq'ed box??? i believe the price is the same or even less. |
