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.

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.

be nice to be able to get my hands on a subframe like that for my nova, but im too broke lol, anyone wana donate to im a broke ass fund?!? lol But that frame looks awsome, cant wait to see it on the track, and see it perform.

oh and by the way, anyone notice that there are wheel speed sensor/ABS plugs on the spindles. Are they gonna try and come out with an abs system too?

Racelogic makes a traction control for racing aplications that will work with those corvette speed sensors.
