Anyway you can elaborate on "more steering angle” some of have little or no knowledge when it comes to steering/suspension stuff.

supposedly they will help you turn the wheels even more than normal hence the increased steering angle. it's supposed to help you drift a little better.

does it change the toe. I think thats what it is called. That means that not all the rubber is hitting the ground but its agnled a little. OR does it really let you tourn teh wheel more. Sorry about all the questions just trying to learn. Cant you also shim the stearing or something so you get a better turn radius?

From what I've been told (by slide), this tie rod spacer, in addition to the pillow-ball mounted tie rod ends that come with it, will give about 20% more counter when in full lock...


...layman's terms: when you drift, you get sideways more...
