Looks like it is going to be very rigid with the crossmember behind and in front of the rack. The DSE car that has this frame on it has 18 by 10" front wheels on it with Baer 6 piston brakes on all 4! The a arms are different lenghts then the other dse a arms. They use a modified corvette spindle. I am pretty sure Kyle said it was going to be hydroformed.

Any ideas on what this thing is going to cost? I will be in the market for something like this soon.

That's what I would have guessed too. Hydroforming is not cheap to tool up for, I'd guess it will take more than a "few" sales to recover the tooling and engineering work on this setup. It is pretty though, but nothing novel on the suspension/steering that I can see.

It looks kinda like Phil Brewers conversion of a stock sub frame....like the one I am running on the speedster (I hope I am still able to use that term).

The sub will.cost 6700 without brakes. Sure is very nce and thought out well. Saw it at Goodguys today. Will be hydrofomed.

I was hoping for 7k w brakes.
I asked about the possibility for a GP. Kyle said they won't be filling any GPs on the new sub. I was told there is a lot of interest in the sub and their dealers don't like it when they allow GPs straight from DSE. If you add in a Baer track kit, you are looking at $8200. I can't wait to see the numbers once they finish testing it, but at that price, It will be along time before I own one.
