The best as in "money is no object" or the best as in "best bang for the buck"
Also, I think there are a couple active threads regarding this recently.
The best if you are not worried about cost (IMO) would be the 21st Century Streetmachine unit.. close second would be Wayne Due and third would be Martz, fourth Alston.. so on and so on.. again, just my opinion based on features..
Lateral Dynamics and DSE both have new subframes on the horizon that might turn out to be pretty nice but as for what is around right now I stand with my first three..
Oh, and I assume you meant for handling.. if it's just for cruising and drag racing then the list gets longer with Heits, Fatman and all those guys..
Best bang for the buck would be modifying your stock subframe.. not as glamourous but gets the job done."A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."

That Lateral Dynamics front subframe is going to be absolutely awesome when released, and in my opinion (from what I've seen and heard) better than anything else out there, if you're looking for maximum performance with no compromises. If you've got a few months, you might want to wait.

Fatman chassis are used in the HotRod1 '69 Camaro Limited Edition that is being built by C.A.R.S. I spoke with Dirk over there, and he recommends Fatman.

Think twice before going with Martz. If you want some detailed pics on the chassis, you can see it on my web site.
