There are many better options then heidts frame. Chris Alston, Speedtech, Art Morrison, DSE, Jakes, All of which will actually improve the car.

theres no engineering behind it, they have no idea of camber gain etc, it was made to work, not made to work well

I think he already has the frame, and intends on using it.

Moch up some wheels and figure it out.

Okay, I do my best not to ever say anything bad about a vendor or a builder.

However, what I can tell you is that my best friends Camaro has been sitting since Nov of 07 waiting for the rest of his part for his Heidts front clip. I did my best to try to tell him that he may want to consider something else but he didn't listen.

It's a nice front clip if your building a driver or a pro-fair ground car. If you goal is to put big brakes on it and "DRIVE" it there are many other front clips that you should consider.
