Yeah....tough decision; 15 grand for a new sportage....or for a fully built DSE sub (+taxes and shipping) + brakes, bushings, brake lines, prep and paint, etc...(ok i'll throw in a Ron davis rad for the price and to kee you cool...)

I'd like to see someone hit 100mph sitting on their subframe alone....(Oh, you need to add the price of those HRE's to the project to get rollin...)

Its not sad Steeve...Its difference of opinions. At least we are getting some good info out of the debate.

Mk Elky said it nicely, "to suggest a car is slow if its not wearing the parts is incorrect" We had a comment about Stielow's car not wearing them at some point here....Its certainly not because of a lack of cash, opportunities or KNOWLEDGE...And HE could tell the difference between parts.

Their must be some reasons he keeps using the stk frame, IT DOES THE JOB!
(I'll try to post a pic of an original sub that was modded and finessed + completely finished (show car like) absolutely amazing that tends to look like the repop DSE unit in the end)
