Man it would only be a few thousand different. Plus you can really run your car low. I would have to put air ride on the G max. I would have the frame designed to run about 4 ride height from rocker. Pump up the bags to get in and out of the driveway and over speed bumps, dump em when parked.

Back to the original discussion....If you don't want to cut the car up the subframes we have spoken about would all do you a great job, Am, 21st, speed tech, DSE. Don't forget to ask about header options for all of the above. They are not cheap!

Comp spec, are you not going a g max with a 3 link in a car right now?
When all said and done the price difference is in the fab work on the floors.
I know its hard to cut up a nice car but like Payton King said the ride heigh with nothing hanging underneth is hard to beat.

Yes were in the middle of a 66 chevelle gmax c6 3 link right now and another gmax 3 link 66 here for the same thing

Back to the 1st question

There subframe is a real nice peace I got to see 1 at SEMA.
Lets you run a 10in rim and you can use stuff you already have or update as your budget lets you
Did you see the built control arms they made for the subframe talk about a trick setup

Boy the choices out there get tougher and tougher. I've thought about adding a DSE Speed 2 kit to my existing frame but the Speed Tech unit is pretty tempting. The other ones on the market are out of my budget/justification for my use. I guess I would really have to see it in person to give a look see if it is truely an option for the extra coin.

Maybe Blake will put up some pictures of the frame from SEMA let everyone see it up close
He's done lots of updates so far so that means they must be working it
R&D thats good
