The slick F-body then received major chassis developments with choice components from Detroit Speed Engineering(DSE). Up front, an entire DSE front clip was installed. This all-inclusive setup houses beefy upper/lower tubular control arms, coil-over shocks, and the power rack and pinion steering.
The clip is a complete bolt-on affair that replaces the stock subframe… modern sportscar handling here we come!
Massive 14″ rotors squeezed by BAER 6-piston brakes handle stopping duties:
