give markus at sc&c a call... my advive would be, tall ball joints, solid frame mount bushings, stiffer suspension bushings, good shocks and higher rate stay bars...

Dont forget the Gulstrand mod. I remember Dave Pozzi talking about how good you get the stock stuff to work!

sc&c is a sponser here and youll find thier link on the side bar.
im pretty sure both of those SFs use specific components that only work with thier SF and not interchageable with the stock subframe...

one this I gotta say is that the heidts SF doesent even deserve to mentioned in the same sentence as DSE!!!!!!! lol

youll be able to built a pretty killer handing car with a stock SF and still use leaf springs...without spending an arm and a leg. springs/shocks/leafs/upper control arms/G-mod/ and large front sway bar and youll be more than happy...
but if youve still got those wheel/tires on there thats in the vid, they will definetly have to go if you want a corner carver.

Ok any recommendations on good suspension componets to throw on a stock subframe and ya the wheels and tires have to go for sure...thats just the way it was when i bought it but they will defenitly have to go.

There are no components that you can put on your stock subframe that will work with a DSE subframe. Now we have a host of killer parts for your stock subframe that can later be put on a Speedtech subframe. And if your on a budget, doing it as cash permits, this would be perfect for you.

We do a lot of this stuff, and have 5 different suspension manufacturers in or product line, so we can truley choose what is best for you.
