I wonder if he's still making those. Another alternative is Chris at activepower who also will make you a rear subframe for c5/c6 .
Thanks.
Have you found anything yet as far as C5 rear suspension mounting like a rear clip or are you thinking dobbertin's setup?
That's a sweet c5 rear subframe. Judging by the looks of the lower control arms it looks like the attachment points are stock C5. Who is David? thx
Congrats , really cool car.
Is there handling advantage to running as wide a rear suspension as possible upright to upright with serious positive offset rims vs a more narrow suspension - upright to upright with 4-6" taken out...
Cool. thx for the info. At 95" my montage front wheels are a little tight to the front of the wheelhouse and my back wheels sit too far back in the wheel openings kinda like the montage at the top...
Thx Dan. I appreciate you taking the time to measure up things. I figured your Manta was a bit lower but what you have for clearance is great so you can drive it on the street. Thx for the...
Dan, what is your ground clearance from the bottom of the frame?
Thx for posting the video and the close up shots of the waterpump to cab clearances. Your video was awesome and I could see there is a pocket/recess in the firewall on mirages for waterpump clearance...
looks awesome. I can't believe how low these cars are! I'll bet that Manta will run circles around that vette!
Awesome...sounds like you also found a Manta project is a fun way to get thru a cold Canadian winter! Is the hump between the two seats for water pump clearance?
that didn't last long... I wonder if it had a good windshield? could've used that.
Maybe the new owner will join up?
Taller tires is the simplest but definitely not the cheapest.
car was up on the floor jack when the pic was taken thus the control arm orientation
thx Terry, good advice as always.
Looking closely at my mustang ii front end on my montage which has stock parts with the Manta recommended Koni coil overs, Pinto R/P. I will be changing out the brakes, rack and steering column. ...
Very nice work.
found some in the Speedway catalogue.

Many thanks for the info...helps out a lot.
Cool...what tire sizes are you using if you don't mind me asking...are you around 24, 25" high on the front? thx ...really appreciate you input.
Terry, I see in past pics you have the Eleanor Shelby wheels on your mirage...care to share the tire and rim sizes? They look great on your car. I'm struggling with tire height and clearance in the...
976I'm selling my Montage T type V6 headers that were supplied by Manta for the transverse V6 cars. They will need a light sand blast and repaint but are in great condition as the car was never...
