looking forward to this build!

I don't think you can use the words budget and DSE in the same sentence :headscratch:

"I went with DSE, as budget was not an issue."

Same sentence, for example purposes only.

Believe it or not, once we sat down and compared to let's say a Mike Maier setup it was pretty close in cost. in order to keep it apples to apples, we accounted for power steering upgrade, steering rebuild, sway bar, spindle upgrade and all. Then factor in the little price break received on the DSE stuff and it was close. If I remember right, it was less than $500. The only real difference is: the DSE cost is up front VS the installment plan when you're able to upgrade a piece at a time using other bolt-on suspensions.

There is no point in bringing up costs here. You can get a (seriously) used Corvette C5 for less (or same money) than the DSE Alumaframe setup. The C5 comes with both ends of a car, along with propulsion, seats, and a roof. Motivation is that of the owner, so all power to him (or her) . . .

Nice choice of Mustang vintage, by the way!

Cool Mustang. Look forward to seeing the finished product.

I was actually joking :stirthepot: , i love the choices.

Will handle very nice!

You have an amazing project, I have always enjoyed the body lines for that series of Car. It brings tears of joy every time I open a box from Detroit Speed makes some beautiful parts. LOL

That is infinite wisdom. When you are putting $25-50K total into a car $500 isjust nothing. Looking at it as a total project with a solid end goal that's major insight. Plus when you go that way you don't have re-engineer all the individual parts that didn't quite work with one and other. That alone is likely more than $500! If I just had $5 for every time that happened.
