Got my new Speed Tech subframe - Lateral-g Forums

i theory yes... but there is not that much "slop" ( technical term) the shafts really only want to slide parallel in the slots. they might rock(for lack of a better word) 1 deg.
so it really is not something to be concerned about.

Got the Speed Tech high clearance control arms that come with the Speed Tech subframe complete package. Here's a few pics the control arms and sway bars. More pics in my build thread. These things are awesome. Speed Tech say you can put a 10" rim with 7" backspace with this package.

Upper control arm

Lower control arm

Tie rod ends

1.25" solid sway bar

For anyone interested in the Speed Tech subframe...I thought I'd post pics of it powder coated and assembled. This thing is awesome.

How much would i save going the speed tech route over DSE? What are the major differences as for a quality and options? I don't mean to hi jack the thread by any means it just seems that you guys have a lot of knowledge on these products. I assume y'all have done extensive research so i' m wondering if you could enlighten me on the 2 frames that i will be buying in the near future. I was leaning dse but after reading some more reviews I'm still considering Speed tech. I guess i just want the pros and cons affordability and function of both

sorry if its hard to understand blame ambien.

The Speedtech frame is right at $2k less then a DSE.

Another interesting question on this. I know of someone that put a LS2 in his car on stock sub and used the mounts that dropped the engine to get his KB to fit under a stock height cowl. Does the speedtech frame lower the engine any? There is a possibility of running a blower on my car and I really want it to fit under a stock cowl hood.

Maybe not the right area to ask but we're discussing the speedtech frame so worth a shot!

p.s. That frame looks NICE!

I've seen the Speed-Tech sub frame in person on Tony's car, KARMA and was very impressed. I thought it looked killer.

I am going to do the Speed-Tech subframe and rear as well for sure if I cannot afford to go DSE.
For will69camaro; I do believe Tony is running a supercharger on his car so it may fit under the hood without any worries.
Very nice sub frame. ENJOY!!!

If you were to get me some measurements from the block top to the top of the blower i can put our mock up together and let you know how much room there is. but i can tell you it is low, the ATS oil pan is about 3/8 above the rack. check with Project Evade's owner Bill as his is installed and he has a stock CF cowl hood he may be able to give you a faster answer.
