DSE sub frame

I like it, looks like a stock sub frame :thumbsup:

Looks like it is going to be very rigid with the crossmember behind and in front of the rack. The DSE car that has this frame on it has 18 by 10" front wheels on it with Baer 6 piston brakes on all 4! The a arms are different lenghts then the other dse a arms. They use a modified corvette spindle. I am pretty sure Kyle said it was going to be hydroformed.

Any ideas on what this thing is going to cost? I will be in the market for something like this soon.

I think i remember someone saying about 6 grand complete with brakes.
But don't hold to that i am not sure.

it is about $6500 plus brakes.

That's what I would have guessed too. Hydroforming is not cheap to tool up for, I'd guess it will take more than a "few" sales to recover the tooling and engineering work on this setup. It is pretty though, but nothing novel on the suspension/steering that I can see.

It looks kinda like Phil Brewers conversion of a stock sub frame....like the one I am running on the speedster (I hope I am still able to use that term).

The sub will.cost 6700 without brakes. Sure is very nce and thought out well. Saw it at Goodguys today. Will be hydrofomed.

I was hoping for 7k w brakes.
I asked about the possibility for a GP. Kyle said they won't be filling any GPs on the new sub. I was told there is a lot of interest in the sub and their dealers don't like it when they allow GPs straight from DSE. If you add in a Baer track kit, you are looking at $8200. I can't wait to see the numbers once they finish testing it, but at that price, It will be along time before I own one.

You are here????? You must be hiding ..... lol
When you leaving?

[Stuart Adams]

I didn't know you were there. I left at 5pm. See ya at SEMA.

So do you guys think that this sub is going to be better than one that uses corvette a arms such as wayne due or 21st? Can the geometry really get much better than DSE a arms for stock sub with AFX tall spindles? I wish I asked Kyle about the weight difference. Do any of you know?

Here are a few close ups.

Very nice.

I looks like a work of art. A beautiful peice. Just what I've come to expect from Kyle and Stacy. Nothing but the best in quality.

I still haven't seen any test information/performance numbers, however, to confirm that these aftermarket frames and suspensions will outperform the stock frames and arms with modifications. As far as I know, ATS is the only company that has actually tested their parts on a road course to justify the numbers and price. I paid what I paid for the AFX spindles because I know they "walk the walk" when it comes to actual perfromance.

Show me a side by side comparison of one of these frames against the frame that is on Camaro X or the Red Witch or anything that Dave Pozzi has slung around a road course. Are they really any better?

[carkrazy1987]

be nice to be able to get my hands on a subframe like that for my nova, but im too broke lol, anyone wana donate to im a broke ass fund?!? lol :D But that frame looks awsome, cant wait to see it on the track, and see it perform.

oh and by the way, anyone notice that there are wheel speed sensor/ABS plugs on the spindles. Are they gonna try and come out with an abs system too?

[ironworks]

That is just corvette hubs with the stock wiring hangin out.

Racelogic makes a traction control for racing aplications that will work with those corvette speed sensors.
