They build the Mazda DPi chassis.
And their LMP2 chassis has been winning in IMSA, including Sunday’s Mid-Ohio race. It’s a solid choice for Porsche.

I have done work for Multimatic. I cannot think of a single positive thing to say about them. They are scum.

I can say that their suspension on the Colorado ZR2 is magic. The rest of the truck not so much.

They did unethical 'quality' things to avoid paying for a machine. E.g. they would supply parts that were out of spec, but refuse to pay when the machine couldn't turn their crap into saleable parts. And they would back-charge for the 'scrap' parts that were used up.
They would ignore all the maintenance instructions, but call for service when things didn't work. Then they would refuse to pay for the 'service' that was really just maintenance. Sleazy people who would make verbal commitments, but never confirm them in writing. Their parking lot was too small, so you had to park on the street, and the city ticketed cars every day. Etc. The auto parts business is a scummy cut-throat , they still found ways to lower the bar. I hate very few people. But there are several people there I truly hate. Just typing this list makes my blood pressure go waaaaay up....
