What would you guys suggest as a complete angle kit to replace Wisefab? I am looking for decent angle and good feel. If possible bolt on without any modifications like steering rack to deal with.

I'm a big fan of KISS. Both my R32 (USA Practice Car) & Silvia (Japan Practice Car) run;
B-Knuckle
Stock-length S13 LCA
S14 inner/outer tie-rod
Angled Tension Rods
Rack is in stock location
No over-centering issues with factory bump stops still in place
R32 is:
FRONT
9k Swift Springs
-4.5* Camber
-.20 Toe
Caster pulled as far back as possible without rubbing inner well
GKTech High Clearance Sway Bar
REAR
5k Swift Springs
-2.5* Camber (tire rolls flat on big decel entries with suspension compression)
-.125 toe
OEM Caster Arm
Factory rubber bushings throughout
Factory Sway bar
Base your setup off of the tracks you primarily drive. My home tracks, and favorite Japanese Circuits, are based around snappy, off-throttle, decelerating main corners/inner apexes. A majority, but not all, USA tracks are sweepers and mostly on-throttle. This plays a big role into determining how to set up your car.

Bingo! Crucial fundamental skills are often over-looked and not trained AT ALL. You can usually tell which drivers started in a low-HP, no angle, car and those who hopped right into an "over-built" (relative to their skill level) car. One obvious red-flag is HOW they use their hand-brake.
