New Waune Due Subframe?

[madmax]

I have one and it isn't going on an F body. I think you have to look past the [pice and actually the differnce of the parts.

The 1st gen F body stuff with a rack and DSE stuff is pretty stout well handling set up. No Mustang 2 cheap ass parts with thin poly bushings. Even if you went the C4 or C5 route you are still dealing with stock parts not the delrin bushed DSE arms.


The C4 and C5 stuff is nice but is mostly bought for the wow factor.

If you are going with a rack knock $500 off price for not needing a kit to install. No rust or straightness issues. Set up for engine and tranny of your choice. weight savings. Bigger tires. There are many reasons to buy one. But then again If you have a well sorted stock set up you are correct that it does not suit your needs.

I guess I am the only one who sees that these suppliers are missing a huge market by only going after the Camaro guys. These parts would benifit the Street crowd who are tired of the Mustang 2 stuff. Remember how many rods have F body clips? Stay tuned I have something to show you in a month or so.

That is exactly where I am coming from. My frame won't work. Who knows if the next one will be good? Or it is tweaked where I can't see it? I want a rack, and if you add everything up it is just about (or cheaper!) than a full Detroit Speed conversion on a stock subframe, with a new frame, and accepts 10" wheels to boot.

I don't really need Corvette stuff. I am the first to admit this thing isin't going to be thashed at the track. It isin't going to thrashed at the drag strip (all the time!) and mostly is going to be a street beast. Call me fo-touring, but I want it to handle a little better than a bucket.

I got into restoring this Camaro not because of what a magazine told me, but the interweb. I found parts when I was researching cars that were BETTER and COOLER than the stock parts... and eventually I found this site. Before then, and before I knew what pro-touring was, I knew exactly what I wanted: a modern car in an old body. I actually learned what pro-touring is from this site (what a testimonial?)



Anway, /rant off, I may be wrong, but the rack conversions for a stock frame are rear-steer. This is front-steer. (Actually, doesn't someone make one? I can't seem to remember right now).

The moral of the story for ME anyway is: I need a new frame. I have a bunch of DSE parts. I don't want to spend $6k on a Corvette frame... and it seems like a pretty damn good solution for ME.
