Look at the event list that DSE will be running their cars and go for it. That would be the easiest.

I like the sway bar and the header clearance that you get with the dse frame. Having seen these frames side by side there just isnt any competition in my mind. The frame rails the craftsmanship of the dse frame speaks for itself.

So I emailed the 2 company's with some questions on pricing and what not and AME sent me back an auto reply and DSE actually took the time to write me back which means a lot to me as for as customer service goes especially if I am going to be spending that kind of money.Now my decision is back up in the air but now that AME decided to blow me off I'm leaning towards DSE.Does anyone know what the differences are in ride height,backspacing,and max tire wheel size, bolt pattern etc.

I'm not sure that the form of response to an e-mail inquiry is the best basis for this decision, but that's just me.

Well from what i have gotten on here as far as quality goes there both good so the next thing after that to me would be price and customer service and AME is cheaper but DSE apparently in my case has better customer service but my decision is still on going.

Do you prefer the fabricated look of AME, or the more stock look of DSE?

Really the look makes no difference to me as long as it rides good and drives well but if i had to choose a look most likely DSE.

I have bought parts from both and have to say their customer service is both outstanding.

I would not let an auto email reply sway you either way.

I am in Australia and spending big $$ is always a risk as returns are an expensive proposition internationally, both companies went out of their way to make sure my purchases were smooth and accurate.

I'm guessing the best way to solve this one is to flip a coin....

I have dealt with both and they both have excellent customer service. I can also tell you that I can send a PM to Matt the designer of the AME subframes and get an answer the same day. For me this kind of access is very valuable. I'm not sure you can do this with DSE.

What pushed me to AME, is for that kind of money I wanted a high tech fabbed looking piece to go with all of the other high tech stuff on my car. (LS engine ProCharger 6 speed ETC). There is no doubt that the quality and performance is there on both frames. It's basically the question do you want a extremely slick factory look (DSE) or a high tech fabbed look (AME).
