upside: more steering angle

Outside of drifting, why is that an upside?

i wouldnt mind a bit of a better turning radius. also im slowly buildying my car to be a drift car so ya

honestly tho i think imma just hold off and do it right with an angle kit

To me an angle kit seems like a better solution here. Maybe you could get away with just removing the bumpers, but if an angle kit is in the cards given your budget, you might as well do it right.

It's always worth considering where you feel it makes sense to cut corners vs when to do things right, and that's gonna depend a lot on how tight money is and whether there are other places you know you're gonna really have to spend.

I think that would be the better option. A drifting steering rack is designed to handle the forces applied at high steering angles while I doubt the standard one would be as high quality.
