Exactly. Also, if you already have aftermarket brakes for a first Gen, you won't have to worry about changing them because this setup uses the factory spindle. Another key feature is that this frame still maintains the stock track width. So if you already have wheels, you don't have to worry about getting new ones to accomodate the wider than stock track width of the C4/C5 setup that requires high positive offset Vette style wheels.

If you're starting from scratch, then yes, the C4/C5 setup would probably be the way to go, but this at least gives a lot of guys a new option without dumping everything they already have. Personally, on top of all those factors I just gave, packaging is big concern. I need all the room I can get for downpipes - that required a front steer rack. This frame is perfect for where I'm at and what I'm doing with my project.

Im not sure about the C5 but doesn't the C4 frame have some bump steer issues?What size wheel can you get with this sub 10"?

I can't tell from the picture, but are those true coil overs or is the bottom of the spring sitting in the a frame? Could a shock wave air shock be installed?

Those look like 100% koni coil overs to me.

It appears as though the shockwaves would fit, the only concern I would have is with the clearance around the swaybar endlinks.

Shoot now I'm deciding (in my master pre-purchase planning) if I want to go C5 front end, or with this conventional setup.

Yes. They're the same ones you get from Marquez or DSE.

Will the global west tubular cat 5 setup work on this

One question Scott.... Since I just picked up my new Wayne Due ALL C-5 suspended sub frame... why you didn't do the C-5 version over the DSE arms?

I know that the frame is much more labor intensive to make due to the odd angles that the parts mount at, but I feel it will be a largely popular item, and to those who want that updated look, well worth the price..
