Agreed.

The quick release is garbage, the wheel feels fine. I use mine for a spacer more than actually releasing of the wheel.

I actually like where the stock one is located. It's just big. So maybe a short hub and quick release? Or just a short hub?

If you get a seat, and dont want to have to slide it back and forth like I am, you should ALSO look at the wheel and quick release. I hate having to always move my seat to get in and out.

Other then that, and barring not able to drop 1k on a diff, get the angle rods.

I would wait a bit on the angle mods. If you learn to keep the car from spinning with stock angle it will only make you better when you add power and angle. Otherwise you are just going to be using it for a bandaid for lack of experience.

i didnt want to sound like a d-bag but those were my exact thoughts on the MORE ANGLEZ ideas.

thanks for steppin up.

besides, youll being paying for an alignment immediately afterward, so its not like its that much cheaper than anything else. unless you align your car yourself of course

which stock steering wheel do you have? The one with three spoke or the HUGE wheel w/ two spoke one? If its the huge two spoke one, id get a smaller steering wheel for sure, ul be able to increase ur steering input 100x better, if its the 3 spokish one, its works fine cuz its not too big... but yeah if ur powersteering is great and ur equiped with a smaller wheel, u can react quicker same as increasing ur steering input...

It's the 3 spoke

I could see where having a smaller wheel would come into play. Im not doing anything above second gear so I'm not sliding around in my seat too much. Maybe I'll go for the wheel...

Alright, I've looken on eBay for used Sparcos/Recaros/Brides but I havent found anything.

I'm thinking of going with a Type IV from F1Spec. And probably their BuddyClub seat rails. Unless I can use the stock ones.

I thought so. What rails do you have? Is your seat lower than stock?

I got Bride adapters on stock rails. My Bride is a side mount seat. Its probably the same height as the stock on. Judging it side by side with the pass seat. I never had a stock seat in it. lol

the strut and sway bars are good because you dont want body roll for drifting or at least not that much. if you can stay level it and just slide you have less chance to roll or catch. i would either go with one of these:
strut bars: help with turning and body roll.
seat: help with YOUR bodies roll haha.
or a cage: even if your not at a comp level when your out practicing breaking your neck ruining your car and or dying are all not part of the base plan. consider all man.
lastly would be a wheel out of the 4 common above.

Especially if it's bad advice from someone with a s4 base and no real experience.
