Default subframe makers

Does anyone have a listing of companies that manufacture aftermarket subframes?

I know of:

Fat Man Fab

C.A. Chassisworks

Detroit Speed (coming soon)

There are others, but I don't have a clue as to who....any help?

Looking for DIRECT bolt in. Any help...ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated-links are especially nice!

Wayne Due, Martz, Scott's Hot Rods, and the tubular piece of crap I can't remeber the manufacturer.

I have a friend with a Martz subframe that he highly UN-recommends due to very poor sevice in his experience.

Anyway, what's wrong the GM part?

Nothings wrong with stock, and that may be what I stick with...its just that I finally have an opportunity to build my baby any way I want and I'm exploring ALL my options.

Thanks for the replies!

We did a Martz a customer supplied. Customer service sucked almost as bad as the frame. Very flexable, did not like it.

Some trivia information, I just weighed a Chris Alston unit with manual sterring and Wilwood 11 3/4 brakes. It is only 60LBS lighter then a manual sterring, factory disc brake subframe. I think a lot of the weight loss is in the brakes.

I have a Fatman in the shop now, again, customer supplied, UGH!
