Hey guys I'm looking into the roadster shop and Detroit Speed front end for a 67 Fastback and wondering what you guys think and which would be better. I really won't be doing much track time mainly just street. What's the pros and cons or which do you prefer tough choice

We also offer a full frame for these that don't require any floorpan mods and it ends up bolting in instead of welding to the body. Feel free to email me [email protected] :)

You say you wont be doing much track mainly just street right? I dont see the point in going all the way to a high end setup like the ones you mentioned for a street cruiser. Maier makes killer Mustang stuff that incorporates the factory front stub.

I looked at both and was initially leaning towards DSE. However, by the time I purchased front sub frame, sub frame connectors, and quadra-link rear end, I wouldn't have been too far off from the cost of the Roadster Shop Fast Track Chassis. The front sub frame from DSE is bolt in, but connectors and rear end would have required same or more work than Roadster Shop chassis and wouldn't have been as solid. I went Roadster Shop and can't tell you how happy I am. I do have DSE mini tubs and their Core Support Cover and quality is top notch.
