Anyone know about this subframe? It looks nice and the price seems right too.

Kind of looks like a 21st subframe.

Well if you look its a Chassis works subframe with mounting plates for C5 suspension. I guess he gets the frame rails from chassis works and makes the mods for the C5 stuff using his own jigs. I was just wondering if anyone has used this subframe or have more info on how well it performs.

The owner or the shop is selling the car that is pictured on the website and it is not finished.

Not really. The 21st Century sub has inserts that allow fine tuning of the UCA mounting point, retains the C-5 LCA eccentrics for alignment and is (based solely at looking at the pictures on the Muscle Car Works site) beefier. If you look closely at the linked shot (http://www.musclecarworks.com/subfra...Sub%20Lg11.JPG), the alignment system - washers behind the UCA bushing mounting points - looks (to put it kindly) a little jury-rigged as compared to the C5 setup used on the 21st Century sub. That said it MAY be cost effective.

21st
 
the only thing the eccentrics do is chang ethe angle of the uca, weather its for anti dive or whatever they are a circle track peice, not some ingenious 21st made part

What he said.. that's not a 21st Century Frame..

I'm amazed how many different 1st gen subs are on the market.. crazy..

Who said they invented it? They are the only people that have incorporated it into a subframe. Or do you think that it's bad to have more options for suspension tuning?

It's nice to have options.. right?

I never claimed they invented it, perhaps nuclear fusion, but not the little inserts. And in any event they (and the LCA eccentrics) are better than the "stacked washer" alignment system.

easy
 
calm down, options are nice, all i am saying is it is a circle track part, yes 21st may be the first to use it i have no idea.
