New Waune Due Subframe?

[madmax]

I spoke with Wayne today.

He said that his quoting the C5 price was incorrect - in his mind the C4 and C5 bare steel frames are about the same - but the C5 has more widgets that he has to buy.

The real price should be about $2200, and closer to $2000 with a 1" swaybar and all the steering arms.

That makes it A LOT more attractive to me. I already have a bunch of parts and an original subframe that would have to be replaced anyway because it has been hacked and tweaked. In my case consider:

Old subframe with DSE coilover mod:



$200 New frame
$800 Power rack
$3250 Speed kit 3
= ~$4300.

Wayne Due frame:

$2200 Frame
$1200 Control Arms
$400 QA1 Shocks
$250 Rack
= ~$4050.

A brand new, 10"-wide-wheel-accepting frame for about $4k is pretty attractive to me, especially since I need a new frame anyway.

Don't hold me to these numbers; there may be widgets that I missed here and there... but you get where I am coming from. If the frame had been another grand more, than, hell, I wouldn't have cared for it.

Max: Now he is talking.
2,000 to 2,200 is more like it.

My earlier pissing and moaning was based off of the prices he has for the C4 and 5 on his website. I couldn't understand how he was going to sell the new frame to people who had not already bought the DSE stage 3.

Like you, I need a brand new frame as the one I had was off a wrecked car. I was going to keep searching for a old frame but I also have a thing for power racks.

If a few manufacturers group priced some of their spindles, control arms and coil overs for Due's frame we could then really be on to something.

Question is will they?
