Default Old subframe New subframe?

I am working on my 69 Z28RS (true) I am now in the stages of reassembling the car, so far I have done the DSE mini tubs and although I purchased the DSE 3" lowering leafs and offset shackles I decided I want to save money and go with quadralink... I ordered my Fikse profile 5s 18x12 in the back, still waiting for wheels to arrive from Driverzinc, its been bout 4months now.. I have a LS6 stroked to 427 by my friend Pecos @ LME (late model engineering) and Viper 6speed...
I will NOT be drag racing or autoXing the car, so for my stock subframe, I have rewelded, painted and have installed Speedtech upper and lower arms, tall ATS spindles and coilovers, for braking I will be running 6piston Z06 front and rear... QUESTION is, should I keep my sub with all the goodies? or sell it and order the DSE sub? And of course I am on a super tight budget..
Thanks for any suggestions
Jon

Sounds like a great build. Budget and intended use usually drive these decisions. DSE is certainly top notch product, but if budget is tight and you don't need 10/10ths, you could keep what you've got as it will work really well.

Let's see some pics of your car?

Thanks Ron!! I am not much of a fan on taking pics, but I do regret now that I didn't take any from the beginning, I was too lucky with my car that I did not have to replace any sheet metal, the only one I patched was a pin size hole onthe drivers fender.. here are a few pics with my phone camera, these 17x11 ZR1 wheels is what I used when I rolled it out of the paint shop, the Z is original daytona yellow, so I decided to go with the same..
Since I am intending on using the car just for cruising with a few blondes and brunettes, hahaha!!!! I figured I can always swap subs down the road..
