In the market for a C6 subframe since I already have the arms, brakes and spindles. I have priced about all of the different C6 frames available. Does anyone have first hand knowledge about Jake's subframe? I can't find much information about them recently. If I had the cash it would be AME but that's more than I want to spend.
I have one sitting in my garage waiting to go into a car. I unfortunately cannot comment on the ride/performance characteristics yet, but I can comment on the build quality. Very impressive! I had some extensive conversations with Jake before my purchase, and he answered all of my questions with as much detail as I asked for. He knows his stuff, and he proves it with his own racecar built around the same components that he sells.
I also have one in my garage. Quality seems excellent, but I haven't assembled it yet. There is a car going to OUSCI using the JRS setup (Vinnie's car I think). I can't wait to see how it performs. He hasn't been racing long yet was able to win an auto-x and invitation. From a performance standpoint, that should say alot.
Sounds like everyone with the Apex frame still has their car apart. I am going to give them a call and talk with them about it. May be buying one soon, if so the car should be done pretty quick.
Jay,
All I can say is been there done that. Didn't work out.
My $.02 is that Scott Mock is one hell of a good fabricator and I have personal experience with his subframe. I would buy his stuff anyday. Plus he very honest and easy to work with.
