A lot of people are voting AME over DSE but no one is telling as to why they did. What are the pros and cons?

Those are 2 of the very best. Nothng else comes close under the 8k range. Nothing.

I am thinking art morrison

I chose the AME because for me it was more cost effective. I liked that I could use the stock F body LSx oil pan, stock LSx F body accessories and C5 brake calipers, abuttments and rotors. Those items added up to considerable savings for me.

The folks at Art Morrison are also great to deal with. But then again I have dealt with the folks at DSE and they were also great to deal with.

Don

you said c5 but can you use c6 as well?

yes ALL the c5 and c6 brakes bolt up the same way. be it plain 13"c5 stocks or 14"c6 zo6, hell i even believe the new zr1s brakes are the same too.

If you are on a budget you can get your stock subframe to handle very nice with the right parts. Really no reason to spend all that coin unless you are going to race the car everyday. We do after market sub-frames and frames all the time when guys dont care about the money but we do just as many stock subs modified on $150K cars all day. just depends on what your looking for and if its just for looks you already made your mind up.

Chris,
Can the same statement be made about the second gen stock sub frames being made to handle really well too? My car will most likely never see the track more than once or twice. But I will drive the car hard at times so I want good handling and braking. What would you suggest for improvements on a stock frame? And what about the rear?
Sorry to hi jack the thread.
Eric

the second gen stock subframe is leaps above the first gen...
it takes very little to make a 2nd gen handle great!
check out mary pozzi's car it got a stock subframe and leafsprings in the back and constantly runs faster or the same times as cars with aftermarket subframes, 4/3 link suspensions...
