Mazspeed:
Thanks for chiming in. I too spoke with kevin. He was very friendly and very informative. I am having some information sent to me regarding their work.
When you say, "There subframe is incredible, but not for everybody. The subframe they make is for racing with a bit of street thrown in. Every frame is a custom deal built for a customer who wants over the top adjustments and 7 inches of travel. It's also a very costly subframe. They are the ones that redid the suspension side of my fatman subframe and it handles like no other fatman ever made."
Would you mind elaborating on:
-"Incredible, but not for everyone"?
-"subframe they make is for racing with a bit of street thrown in"?
(Would it be a challenge for it to be used on the street? If so, why? (In your opinion)
(How is it different than the, DSE, AM etc?)
-"Every frame is a custom deal built for a customer who wants over the top adjustments and 7 inches of travel" (I understand "Custom Made", when you mention, "Over the top adjustments", can you elaborate on this?
"What all did they do for your "Fatman" Frame?
I'm getting the idea that like LD's "3-Link" there architecture/engineering, performance, and challenge of installation is a step above both in quality and price than the more advertised subframes there are on the market. (Is this a fair statement?)
To which of course means that 99% of the people out there would probably not be able to appreciate the engineering that went into it. Therefore the other companies are appealing to a completely different market segment. (Those who also probably can't utilize the performance of the less expensive products, but don't have or don't want to spend the extra amount on that type of product);-)
I've spoken to many of the subframe suppliers and seen many of their products. All the ones I have seen so far have been top notch, (I would be proud to have any of them in my car), this question was meant to just understand the difference between a car like "Fuel", and a F-16 jet.
Both are excellent for their intended purpose, but not necessarily to be compared to each other. (Oranges and apples)
I hope I have not offended anyone in this post. As you know by now I have tried to really understand the different products being offered to the PT market, especially in regards to, Front Subframes, Rear Suspension choices, and the different engine packages that are able to be Purchased.
It is truly a great time to be restoring/Modifying Classic cars.
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards,
Ty O'Neal
