I'm with you Stuart. I blew about $60 in junk food over the GG Columbus weekend.

If you are like myself and want a rack on your sub (because you just like racks), quoted by Murtah...




I like racks, big racks. :D

DSE has suspension geometry numbers on their website. I'm still curious on weight tho...

Ok, time for the experts to sort that out :)

Did anyone mention what trans x-member the sub is drilled for in the pictures? Sort of looks like ATS. Obviously they give you the option of using anything a stock frame could use, I was just wondering who they had in mind with those pre-drilled holes.

I wonder if a LSX motor with the a/c compressor in it's stock location would work? I never did like mounting it up high.

Well....I know that 18" x 10" means an 18" Diameter by 10" wide wheel :lol:

Lead.

I called and asked Stacy, she said they never tested for that and they could not give a definite answer. They tested an LSx with the Vintage Air bracket setup. I would be better for me if it fit in the stock location, I prefer to use stock brackets at their stock location.

It was designed after factory. So is our mounting brackets, which is why it looks similar. Our T56 crossmember will bolt right up to that frame.

Tyler,
I was checking out your new site yesterday, A lot better than the old one. Will your NEW t-56 crossmember work on the DSE sub? it seems it has more clearance (that your older one) for exhaust and I like the adjustability. I couldn't tell because my piece o' sh*t government computer wouldn't let me open the pdf file.

Yes, it should bolt right up to the DSE frame. The adjustablility is designed for the different T56 variants, and engine combos. Load the .pdf when you get home to see it up close.
