We have the first Speedtech subframe in Project EmptyNest. Because of some "SMEA Thrash" items, and a jammed packed shchedule of shows and photoshoots since SEMA, we have not had the pleasure to get it up and running, and driving. So I cannot give a seat of the pants opinion yet. We should have a driving report in mid January.

The subframe is built strong as can be and mounted in perfectly. It measured so good on the first shot using the line up holes, I questioned the tape measure. The suspension numbers are good and it is priced awesome. Were selling them for $4800, which is a good $1400 + under the other quality frames out there.

Right now we are in the unique position of having 4 different quality subframe's we offer in price ranges from the mid $4000 range to $7500 range. We sell DSE, Art Morrison, Chris Alston, and Speedtech Subframe's. All the rest out there are not a consideration for us as they are all street rod crapola and we will not sell crap for the sake of profit!

No one else has as wide a variety of subframe and suspension products. So I think this makes us uniquely UNBIAS financially. In other words, we do not have to promote one frame or another just because it is the only one we sell and make money on. I think each frame has is distinctive market position.

Feel free to call me and discuss the virtues of each frame, along with your needs / requirements / wants / budget which are all different caveats in your subframe selection

thanks for the info frank
being a new product i havent seen alot of write ups on this one. the shop that im having do some of the body mods (perfection autosport) is still suggesting a c5 front. I have been in contact a couple of times with ed over at 21st century. Looking at achived forums and trying to combine my rear ( custom 3 link, fab 9 ) with the front is been tough. I was not aware that you are a vendor? sorry new to site

nothing against DSE used it on past projects but the thing with this project is "show and go" and i feel the look of the fabs flow through to the rear better. I basically got 3 to choose (AME, Speed tech , 21st) Im not going to buy a "packaged frame" and plan on picking my own bolt ons but I do like speed techs arms despite there mig welded
Are shops are scarce here that i can trust so my past knowledge and forums is what im relying on

You want to buy a frame and then outfit it with susp.?

I wouldn't do that because they design the frame and susp. to work together.

Not trying to start the welding debate again but theres not going to be a problem with them being mig welded vs tig on the control arms

mig vs tig
peas vs carrots

either one is good for 99% of everything on a car, mig is faster and all that is needed,

Back to the 1st question

There subframe is a real nice peace I got to see 1 at SEMA.
Lets you run a 10in rim and you can use stuff you already have or update as your budget lets you
Did you see the built control arms they made for the subframe talk about a trick setup

[awr68]

yeah those control arms were sweet!!
