I would just want to question you on that statement? the part about "DSE having more product to compliment their set up."

Speedtech has EVERYTHING you could need including some parts that DSE does not have like oil pans,

I will let you know that we are about to also release a new
ExtReme Torque arm front mount that also integrates a drive shaft loop and subframe connectors. this will be a very good upgrade that really no one else has.

thanks for the props as well

You can practically build a car out of a DSE catalog. They offer everything from sub-frame bushings, PS hoses, headers, mini-tubs, rearends, etc.

DSE's biggest downfall is price. The best thing going for them is the proven track record. The cars perform very well.

I would have bought the Speed Tech 2nd Gen frame, but at the time there was no solid release date. Its all the little preferences here and there.

I forgot about the mini-tubs. . .that's on my short list. . .

. . .I also forgot about all the body stuff (core closeout, hood latch and receptacle, firewall closeouts, etc. . . .

Same here, I can sell you almost any part you will need, Engines Transmissions, brake line kits, headers, exhaust parts, Cooling systems, front drives, brakes , wheels, tires, fuel systems, and they are all the parts we USE in our builds so we know what fits and works together as well.

don't tell everyone but I can even sell the DSE mini tubs

I haven't talked with DSE, but I can say the customer service at SpeedTech (at least from my experience) has been FANTASTIC!!!

[hifi875]

both are great companies. wouldn't hesitate to buy from either and have used both of their parts.

Blake, I just looked at the website and even if you do have it, its not listed. Usually I just assume you don't have something if its not listed. I don't see things like tubs, headers, x-members etc listed under the 70-81 Camaro tab.

PM coming

You can get lots of parts from lots of different people.

Depends to some extent what your budget is and more importantly how you intend to use the car.

To try to say which is the better subframe. Well if you just street cruising neither one in better then an upgraded stock. If you're full on Optima Street Challenge then that's another story.

When looking at race results it does not appear that any one manufacturer is dominating.

I have Speedtech front and DSE Quadralink rear. Works perfect for me.

Depends on what you compare. If you look at overall results, the newer cars are dominating lol.

But comparing Sec Gen Camaros/Firebird with different brand parts. In that case DSE is dominating on the track. Of course you cant compare overall winners because more than the suspension brand parts plays a role.
