Speedtech Subframe?

[rob07002]

I'll check my notes and get back to you. Thanks

[John510]

we have been talking to Stainless works about this ........................ your using a LS?

Yes LS3

how's header fitment? will headers designed for a stock subframe fit? or is it strictly the SW headers?

Your stuck using SW 1 3/4 as my post said. No other options

[LM7_67]

we have tried a couple different brands, and all the ones we tried needed the 3 joint shaft and some even with that needed a tube changed, THE BEST fit and option is th e stainless works headers. they let you use a 2 joint steering shaft and also give the most ground clearance, we designed them to sit as high in the sub as is possible unlike ALL the headers we tried which were designed prior to lowering springs!!! our BB headers sit 1.8" higher than the hooker super comp headers. small block headers are only 14 below the frame rail

Hm, I have the 1 7/8" ARH LS headers in my stock sub and the fit and ground clearance are fantastic. Thinking about your subframe, but I would love to be able to keep using these headers.

All i can tell you is that you "MAY" have to modify the #1 cylinder tube to fit the steering column. i would suggest making the changes to the headers to run a 2 joint steering shaft rather than using the 3 joint shaft and keeping your headers.

Rob where do you have the alignment set now?

I pretty much went with the Unisteer specs.



Toe: 1/16"
Camber: 1/4 degree positive
Caster: 1.5 degree positive

Toe: 1/16"

Caster: 1.5 degree positive

for an agressive street, mild autoX setting try
toe is probably ok
Camber -3/4
caster +4.5 -5
that will be better.

MAKE SURE THE GUY DOING THE ALIGNMENT KONOW WHAT HE IS DOING!!!!
seems most guys that use the fancy machines have no real idea what they are even doing,
They punch in the car and the machine can only tell them what the factory setting is.............. like your specs that look pretty close to factory.

if you can find a race shop espesially a road raceshop that will do the alignment

Blake,
Does the complete subframe include spindles? I was reading the product page and it does not specifically say.

[killer69]

No it does not include spindles, we can get you new ones if you want, but if your not going to go with the AFX spindle then we suggest you reuse your existing spindles.

Where in NJ are you. I align these things all the time

that explains why when i bought the speed tech sub frame from jegs it came with their brand spindles.

was it cheaper in Jegs

[killer67]

Shipping is cheaper

[CamaroAJ]

was it cheaper in Jegs

jegs had it mispriced so it was below their cost. so i bought it since it was in stock. also i live 4 miles from one of their stores so i didn't have to pay shipping.

i Remember that You Really Scored!!!
but i had no idea they were selling it With spindles????
good deal then.
we are currently working with a shipping company to try and reduce the shipping cost.... we will see how that goes, right now i think we are about one of the most rrasonable on shipping??

[CamaroAJ]

it was a good deal since they were disk brake spindles that i need to sell since i ordered the tall ATS spindles from you.

they only thing jegs doesn't give you the option of is motor mounts. it comes with small block mounts only and it also doesn't come with sway bar end links.

[killer69]

Actually NOW when you order from Jegs you will get both LS and SB/BB motor mounts it was to hard for them to manage the multiple options. also the sway bar end links come in the subframe hardware package. they used to be included in the lower control arms.

So it sounds like your all set up!!

[CamaroAJ]

i couldn't use the motor mounts anyway since i moved the engine back 7". once i get far enough in the build i'll have to call and order a set of end links from you guys since i didn't get them from jegs.

Thanks Blake. I'll give this a try.
