Speed Tech plus AFX spindles or AME

[bdahlg68]

I have a budget, but first must determine how each setup fulfills my goals. I want to be able to track / auto-x the car and also finish a Power Tour in comfort. I also plan to drive it frequently during good weather. Once I am able to define how well each setup fulfills my goals, I will decide based on that and cost which way I want to go.

Do you have experience with either setup? Is there a car out there with the OEM sub setup you described?

Yes One lap camaro has this setup. This is also the setup I am using on my car. If I had deeper pockets i would have went AME with Rack and pinion and 10.5 inch front rim.

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback. I don't have an OEM sub, but I'm going to price it out and keep it in mind.

You mentioned running ABS. Matt (AME engineer) installed functional ABS in his first gen. Not sure if you have seen the recent article on his system. I'm sure he can answer any questions regarding it.

I figured with the AME setup no modifications would be necessary to run ABS. Want to confirm the same for Speed Tech with the ATS spindles. I did see the article in Hot Rod and will be using that as a guide later on. I am at this point leaning towards the AME setup but wanted to see if there were benefits to the Speed Tech setup with the spindles.

if you are considering the AFX spindles then they DO come with the factory GM wheel speed sensor so ABS is possible, i have no additional info on how you might complete or even install a ABS system, i know Mark S has it on his latest car but word on the street is it was no easy task to get it to work as the rear wheel speed sensor is a issue???
