DSE vs TCI vs Art Morrison

okay i toss in my 3 cents here.

Here is my take on it. If the goal is to build a great car that does well at the track and you want to have plenty of money left over. People really need to look at Hotchkis, Bell Tech, Speed Tech & Ride Tech.

1. Hotchkis, Bell Tech, Speed Tech & Ride Tech -- Front Suspension
You can swap out the parts on your driveway and car is never down
Cost is increadible inexpensive compared to a full frame swap

2. Hotchkis, Bell Tech -- Rear Suspension
Yep once again on your driveway

3. Ride Tech ( Coil Ride )
Minimal welding needed on the rear suspension.
Fully Adjusable and easy to install

One very important thing to consider if you don't have a bunch of money. I repeat NEVER, did I say NEVER every take your car apart further then simple bolt on modifications. If you do you are opening pandora's box and you may never get your car back together.

Trust me I seen tons of projects end up being sold because people lost interest and or money. In most case these cars should have never been taken apart in the first place. Taking a car apart in the "CHEAPEST" part of the project. Finding time and money to put it back together is the most expensive part of any project.

Just look at Mary's Camaro with minimal money against a full blown $20,000 DSE chassis car. That lady ain't doing so bad in my book. I betting you Mary & Dave are really sharp for a reason and they can afford to eat place's that don't have a dollar menu.

My personal choice for my next project is Ride Tech's new Coil-Over Set up and a good set of Brakes from Kore3. For the money how can you beat it.

If I really needed a subframe my first choice would be SpeedTech then Art Morrison. If you were to damage any of the parts it's just a quick trip to the local parts store to get parts.

That being said cosmetically the DSE stuff is just beautiful but it's just not in the budget on my next project. I need to keep some money for my kids college education.

One more thing that's cool about Ride Tech - who else would sell a Billet Yo Yo !!!!!

and there you have it from the guy who just finished his project, and probably has a good idea what he is talking about

You couldn't have said it better. Been there Done that.

I learned a bunch building Syborg and where and how to save money. Really how many people actually have the time to hit all the events that require you to have a full blown track car. People have lost perspective and really guys most of us are building a car that we are going to drive back and fourth to work and hit a few shows a year.

Get in them and drive them and keep some of that money in your pocket for other things. Maybe even some new parts for the car or even a paint job.
