Need opinions--too late to switch to Schwartz?

[formula]

Alright guys, so, without spoiling all of the fun....I'm looking to put my car under the knife this summer, and as much as I like the mods I've done....I can't help but think I should take my chassis to the next level.

Here's the relevant stuff I've done so far:
-air ride challenge kit: 4 link rear, tubular uca's and lca's front, double adjustible bags at all 4 corners
-flaming river steering box
-subframe connectors
-herb adams g-braces
-wfotech front structure braces

already bought, but not installed yet:
-wilwood brakes, front and rear for stock spindles
-3.23's and detroit tru-trac for stock 10-bolt

I'm thinking about switching to a schwartz full chassis. Do you guys think I'm to far gone already to go for it? Will the brakes still work with schwartz spindles? can weld-in subframe connectors be easily salvaged to resell? I'm hoping I could at least reuse the bags I've got now...Most importantly, and I'm not trying to be rude, but just trying to get a handle on things...how much of a change am I really going to experience?Thoughts? Suggestions?

Tough call. You've got a lot of money in your current setup and it'll cost you lots of money for the full frame. If it were my money, I would continue on the path your on now and maybe later change or build another car. You still haven't done anything to the engine have you? If your money is burning a hole in your wallet, why not concentrate on that?

I agree,changing to anouther plan now will just cost way to much
$$$ and it may turn your car into the never ending never finnished project.

I agree with the above. finish what you have and continue along that path. if you switch, you may never be done. I have pondered swtching items such as subframes, rears, or full fame during the cours eof my build. I chose to stick with the plans I originally had to get the car done. if I want to do a radical change, I can do it later or do another car. back tracking never saves money.

With a little checking With Jeff and the suppliers of your parts you might be able to exchange or use some of the pieces you have with the Schwartz chassis. Plus the chassis is really a bolt in type of situation so it doesn't make you have to go backwards with most things. You get a car that is basically like what you were building for ride and you will get a very good setup and really good support to get it all setup. Having the guy who races and builds some of the fastest cars around and can tell you how to dial it in is a good reason to go with it.

If you have the money and the time and you see yourself really utilizing the car on a track it will be money ahead in the time it takes to get it all balanced out.

I also think that you are saying most of the parts you have still haven't been installed at all so you can at the worst lose money for a restocking charge. Since you already have some airride parts you may already be ahead of the game there.

So check out what you can use and what you can get for what you sell or return and then decide, then you will at least know what you will be thankful for or regrettting when the car is done.

I would really go for it. I have seen the setup in person and it is as simple and easy to work on as it can get . A very nice design for sure.Plus I think you will still be able to use the some of the parts you already have and someone will give you good money for the other parts .

It's never too late for Schwartz.

In fact I think that's their company slogan.
