Default Speedtech Subframe??

I haven't seen many guys running the Speedtech sub-frame for the 69 Camaro. Mostly just the DSE units. Cost wise Speedtech has a big advantage and you can use different spindle and control arm set ups on their unit. Sub only weighs 125 lbs as well. Anyone have any feedback with the Speedtech unit as a comparison?

i have it but haven't been able to drive on it yet. i also upgraded to ATS tall spindles. for the price its very nice. for performance there isn't enough feed back yet to tell. i do have 10" wheels with 295" on it though so thats a big advantage over the stock sub.

There are lots of Speed Tech subs in the build phase (Youth Pastor Chris comes to mind and Sherp's Nova I think), and Bill's Evade has one as well. Also, Remember that Blake's Nova came in 5th @ Optima.

From a personal observation, their stuff looks (complete sub w ATS Spindles) real good and I'd use it.

Yep I have one in mine. Haven't driven it yet but so far am very impressed with the quality of it. Even more impressed after seeing how Blake's Nova did. Like Ron said, he came in 5th and then his next race came in 1st.

I got to ride and drive Roger's 69 Camaro last year and the thing handles like its on rails. We took a lot of twisties and there was no roll and it held a line. I had already had my track time package sitting in my garage and the "test drive" just reassured my choice.
