2nd Gen Wayne Due Opinions

[johnm]

I was talking to Wayne yesterday. He is a couple of weeks away from having a 2nd gen clip ready with c5 components, that have narrow rails, allowing for up to 10 inch wide front tires. My question, in your expert opinions, do you think a wayne due clip is worth the $$$ in a 2nd gen, or would you guys stick to global west stuff. Thanks for your opinions, any answer is appreciated.

did wayne say how much the frame will cost.

[johnm]

He led me to believe it would be the same as the rest of them, around $2500.00. But that doesn't include any of thes suspension stuff or brakes, so I guess it'll end up being around a $4-$5K project when it is done.

$0.02 for free,
The 2nd gen is a much better design. In addition, there has been TONS of R&D from the stock car world. I'm pretty sure that Howe's 2nd gen clip will let you run a 10 tire on a 60 inch track width. Just not sure of the turning radius. $4-5K would have to yield a quantum leap in performance. If anyone can do it, it's Due.

Where can I find the Howe Front Clip Replacement. I forgot to mention, I already have the global west newest uppers and a GW Swaybar, full del-a-lum bushings in the front end. Does anyone have some practical experience that can compare between a setup like this to a Corvette Front end.

I got this in a mail from Wayne :
A complete C-5 frame with all new C-5 parts will be about $6,200.

Thats what Wayne wrote to me so thats pretty expencive it better be real good.
I had the exact same question as you in my mind Johnm.
And how good are the C5 brakes? is Bear brakes better?
