Agreed, and get a proper roll cage. Your dash is already fucked why not cut some more holes in it in the name of safety.

Concentrate on the rest of the car, then worry about your angle kid. I'd say start with those shat coilovers.
Yes not great coils but They work fine and are way better than godspeeds or ebays. Traded my Daily Ka Sil80 for this car as it sits. I havent done anything to this car other than drive it at an event and clean it up.

Im starting with Angle Kit and Stance coils. I have sold the cage and am stitch welding the whole chassis prepping it for an FD legal cage that might actually work. The car itself runs great.

I have already sold the cage. Currently stitch welding and prepping the car for an FD legal cage so I can compete ProAm this season.

Lol. Cage is gone. It did make the car rigid but not Safe in any serious crash at all. The door bars were welded in. But still had to go.

pretty much this.

both of them have the same function.

one may be 30* taller than the other, but the functionality of the parts are *theoretically* the same.

the cheaper item is still made of some decent material.

I thought CNC'd 7075 Aircraft Aluminum was pretty decent as well. Im gonna give them a try unless I find a better option for relative pricing like $1000 or less

They are fine in my opinion and are $1400. The damper adjustments are great, I dial up to 3 from the top for the track and then back down to 4 from the bottom to drive around in between track days. I just prefer Stance Over Everything, I have 4 kids local that wanna buy my coils when I get my stances. Not worried about it. Lol
