Lets hear what makes it the best?? Are there many out on the street, reliability, proven testing, track proven handling, have many people put hard miles on them yet? (not being negative just curious)

Thanks
Are there any other companies besides air ride and DSE testing there stuff just about every week? If I was on the fence about a sub frame, I would go to a Goodguys event and take a ride with DSE , first and second gen cars, on the autocross. Take a ride with Air Ride, same thing. Talk is cheap.

At least you could talk to the owner, designer, engineer and see it in action. What better way is there?

Putting quality parts with reliable ( going to be there for the long haul ) definately adds to the value of the car. When the prospective owner can pick up the phone and get confirmation by asking anyone in the know about a company, it's huge. Ridiculous to think otherwise.

Jake runs his test car hard and often on the track. There is some video footage out there. I would have considered his subframe if it had been on the market when I was buying.

Some of the video is here:

Man you just can't dispute DSE's performance and quality it speaks for it self. Like Stuart im a little bias . And look at those pics of Todds Camaro Jason I do agree with what your saying also....

I watched Jake run his car and he runs HARD
He was running his street car faster then the full race cars in his class
It was fun watching a 69 Camaro smoke by a Z06 .... It's obvious Jake did a lot of research on his frames
