Any one can buy a welder and make one don't mean there doing it right lol
I have also put quite a lot of time into finding out what different beams are available. I did notice that one of the beams that was available was not 6 degree, but probably more like 13 degrees (compared to the 18 degrees which is standard). But I don't see how they would make the car feel worse than standard. Reducing the angle is still an improvement, it's just not as good as it could have been if it really was 6 degrees. In the end I chose to go to a local welder and have my own made. And I do believe I did it right.
