thats pretty steep but i didn't realize it came with so much i thought it was just the frame and rearend. i only wish i was more knowledgable. the DSE package seems so much more affordable. i thought they would work together but finding this out really screws my plans. i think i might have to bite the bullet and call am. i cant wait for this project to be complete and it hasnt even began. i cant get enough of this pro touring stuff. i have been staying up till 3 every morning for the past i dont even know how long trying to find out as much as i can so i wont have to ask so many questions. thanks again for you help

You really need to run one or the other. Camaro's do not normaly have a full frame under them. They have a sub frame that is like a short frame only under the front. DSE makes an entire sub frame replacement with their suspension. The quadra link and the Lateral dynamics rear suspension is made to work with the stock body with no frame under the back. only kind of thin frame rails built into the body. The dse and lateral dynamics systems work great. The max g chassis as a whole is kind of like the next step up. With the max g you can get vette front susp with a triangulated rear 4 link and have basicly no flex because you are adding a full, very rigid frame. I like the lateral dynamics rear a little better myself, but the triangulated rear is realy good as well. The max g chassis requires a lot more work. I hope you know how to weld.Let me say that again the max g chassis requires alot more work and time. You basicly cut the floor out and weld the chassis to the body. Welcome to the site. Feel free to ask as many questions as you want. That is what this site if for.

HiwayMan You are the expert on the Max g chassis since you have one in your beautiful Camaro. I have seen lots of quadra links installed and they honestly don't look that hard to install. I would tackle it. I PERSONALY think it would be a whole lot easier than installing a max g chassis under my car. Maybe its easier than it seems, like I said you know more about the max g chassis than I do. I do know the sub frame swaps are easy. The only thing you really need to fabricate is your steering shaft. Other than that they for the most part bolt on. I do not know Ssonics level of building skill and I don't think the max g chassis is for a begining builder.
