What size rims did you get? I'm curious if you got bigger than 10's if you'll be able to get your 315's under it.

the subframe is from checkered racing. I'm very happy with it. it bolted right in w/o a problem. i got it with all the options, like wilwood brakes and qa1 shocks etc etc...total was right around 3k.

as far as the weight savings. i dont know an exact number but its alot. this thing doesnt way hardly anything.

Do you still have any stock frame rail left? I'd love to see some pics if you do, I've been told a 315 with 12's is just too much to cram in there from multiple people that have tried.
