I had no idea. I think the ST frame is 125LBS bare, right? That is a good weight savings over stock.

I doubt that 125lbs is the complete subframe with steering and suspension. I'm sure the Speed Tech subframe itself is lighter but not 200lbs lighter.

Usually lighter tends to be flimsier so added strength like a cage will help to stiffen things.

yea it's not 200 lb lighter. it's 20lb lighter ( the frame alone) add all the parts and it might be 30-40 lb lighter total. definatly not flimsy.

The hydroformed rails is the worth the extra money, and the design of it is very cool. Especially, when you take it apart for paint. So if you don't have the money now, then just save for it.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully I can? Gotta see what the future brings. If not, like I said, I'm sure ST will be more than good for my needs.
I checked out your gallery. Looks like a cool project going on.:thumbsup:

A stock bare sub weighs 110 lbs.
My weight for a complete sub with disc brakes, manual steering, no wheels: 315.5
Complete with power steering: 345

The cast iron hubs and calipers, and steering box are where a lot of the weight is.
