lowering on notches is a concern already....
And why have you bothered staying with 3 stud? Light weight track wheels will be soooooo hard to find!

sitting on the bumpstops = shit handeling
Aswell as notches causing more problems than good remove the whole torsion bar and measure the hub height to lower it
I know your starting out and eager to crack on but research things before diving in and youll find the end result a lot better

Research at home and note things down you want to remember lol
Lots of forums are banned in collages now but its normally for a good reason

Nice idea, but some of the things you are doing are a worry.. That car's going to have really poor handling, i only hope you don't have to take it on a track for the final exam lol

Rear is far too low, as said before a 4 stud car would have been an advantage. Oh well enjoy the project

not sure that cage will be the strongest?
those 2 long sections right to the back of the boot with no cross bar or diagonal will be pretty pointless?
They look weird point in at the top as well? I'd have tried to replicate a well known cage design, such as the SD one.
Fair play for having a crack though I guess

Never seen a cage design like that before
What made you choose to build it that way?
I would have copied a reputable cage manufacturer, unless i knew and understood the calculations needed to make one myself safely
