WTB: aftermarket subframe - Lateral-g Forums

Looking to see whats out there. I'm running a wayne due now. While prepping for an autocross earlier this week I found 2 cracks in the shock tower mount. I'll be doing an engine swap in the next few months, so I may just swap out the whole sub. First choice would be DSE. I have a power rack & pinion now & would like to stay with one. I'd like to retain my C5 brakes as well if possible. I'm also running an 18x9 w/ 275 tire. I can arrange shipping, just has to be on a pallet. Prefer emails over PMs.

used or new? doubt you will find a used DSE sub.

Ya i know used DSE is long shot. There have been a few on here in the past. Preferably used- stalled project, part out, etc. New is bit of a stretch once you add shipping, cross member, stands, and all the little things that dont come with a new one. You can shoot me some pricing though. Thanks for your response.

Other than the cracks is there something you don't like about the sub you have ?

I just know the current ones are said to be better, and since I'll be changing engines it seemed like a good time to make an upgrade if I find something that fits the bill. I'm also not sure what I'll end up taking apart to repair the shock tower since it is leaned inward slightly, causing the left front to be low & right rear to be high. I'm not sure how to go about making sure its back in the right position before its rewelded. I'm happy with it but I havent driven any cars with a high end subframe. My wayne due has C4 control arms & spindles/hubs. C5 brakes, mustang rack & pinion. I'd like to change the sway bar but cant find anything available. Any input is welcome
