I have to say I'm very disappointed. My hope was this would be closer to the cost of your G-Body kits than an F-Body kit. I waited quite a while for this news and I simply can't justify the cost for this platform.

That is unfortunate but what were you expecting? this is a not comparable to ANYthing on the market that I know of,
RS chassis is 21,000 for all comparable parts and you need to replace the entire floor!
DSE is over 9000 and is control arms and struts up front
I think ours will end up at 13,999.00 and this will be with a new 9" and probably JRI double adjustable shocks.

I suppose it won't be for everyone, we will probably do control arms and struts in the future as well to cover off that market segment as well.

Just finalizing pricing
With Ridetech single adjustable (custom Valved)
Front Subframe
Mid sub frame connector kit
Rear torque arm

10,999.00

Rear end extra 3199.00 9" 31 spline Tru Track Nodular 3rd member

This will allow true dual exhaust (our headers will be required)

Here is the deal tell us you read it here first we will take 1000.00 off the total price on orders placed and paid for by the end of September

Just curious... What will pricing be for just the front subframe? When will pics be available?

Front sub will be 7159.00
but you will also need the sub frame connector part as well because it incorporates the trans mount. the factory torque arm should still mount to the trans as it does now.
will have pics this week

what if your running a t-56 and not factory T-5 trans? Can you get the rear end housing with camber and toe?

It is all designed around a T56 but the trans X member is adjustable so pretty much any trans will fit (T56 needs the tunnel modified a bit) the factory Torque arm would likely not work with a T56 as it is so different

I can have speedway to build the housing it would need to be a floater though. which is totally possible. you would need to provide the specs you are looking for.

Something more in line with the 3rd Gen community. Not blaming you, just frustrated because this still means no real options for most of us.

What I was expecting/hoping for was an SLA kit integrated into the strut tower area that worked with a stock/stock style K-member. In my mind it would use either the extreme uprights or stock vette uprights with a more common damper.

Kit for the older mustangs (yes, i know its a penske damper):

Sorry. That set up would just not work with the current geometry. and since it works so well why change it. that is why it is more like the DSE /Roadster shop Mustang kit and not the one you reference.

Here's how I think you could differentiate yourself from that market segment:

Viking Crusader struts w/ stock location springs (allows for 275 front tire or 315 if you get the offset perfect) and rear coil overs valved for autox. Currently the choices are Koni, custom AFCO or JRI. You could slot in the middle, be affordable and valved to your recommended spring rate

Front springs, weight jacks and Camber plates

Drop spindle w/ ackerman correction that bolts on OEM 4th gen Camaro OR Willwood SLC56 calipers

A splined front sway bar and then recommend (or even offer) a matched rear bar

Your current torque arm and bolt-in adjustable cross member

You could package up the front for ~$3,000 or $4,250 w/ K-Member/A-Arms (if you even care to compete in that space) If it were me, I'd offer A-Arms for the stock K-Member so you wouldn't send a customer to another vendor and because the A-Arms are easy to design. So call it $3,500 for the front w/ A-Arms

The rear should be priced like your other torque arm packages @ ~$2,500

That would sell like HOTCAKES!

The price point would be:

More expensive than Konis package but w/ superior shocks

About the same as an AFCO package but solving the anti-ackerman issue

Far less than a JRI package
