Also checked it out at Columbus GoodGuys. Fantastic engineering and production quality. I can't believe the investment in a hydroform machine ! That's some serious support of the industry !!!!!

Congrats !

6700$ without brakes ..... And it looks stock at that.

'Gotta be kidding.

Lead.

Edit;

I guess its just that i adhere a bit more to the thinking reflected here....

https://lateral-g.net/forums/show...87&postcount=1

when will the last ounce of performance be used in all those cars? There must be many more "Pro" racers in this world with Camaros then i suspected...

OK, i give it the thumbs up too for the work. (Plus you gotta love hydroforming!) Its the justification i have a hard time finding.....

I like the Chris Alston stuff but what data do you have that shows it's "lighter, stronger" than the DSE unit?

Do you know the weight of the DSE unit? Really, I'm curious...

Also, what about the revised suspension geometry of the DSE unit looks "stock" to you?

I sent DSE a long email asking the specifics of the new subframe. $6700 in change is not small by any means, but if it has the goods to go with the good looks, it might not be as expensive as it seems.

In your opinions, what would constitute the optimum bolt in front sub frame other than Free of Charge?

I'm reserving an opinion pending further information.

They have obviously made good business decisions in the past.

It would not make any kind of business sense to build a 24 carat, "Pig in a Poke".
