Changing tie rod ends are not going to change the feel, steering ratio or give you more angle, that would require a new rack. I would say your aggressive alignment did that.

Wouldn't it be easier to shim up the steering rack to get the geometry back to normal on a severly lowered car? Is that what you are looking for?

u probably be right, but i am just trying to share the experience, and it really felt like car turns faster than the usual. watever made the car feel this way (alignment settings or the tie rods), i would say it really feels darn better..anyway shiming up the steering rack is like the bumpsteer kit, right?

also, heres my alignmnet setup and tire pressure (myt be off topic but i tot i shud share it):
Front camber : 2.2degress L, 2.3 deg R
toe: 0 toe
caster: 6.2
rear camber: 3.0 left and right
toe: 3/16

tire pressure:
Front: 30
rear:32

im interested in the steering spacers to achieve a great steering angle. not really for increased steering response or to eliminate bump steer.

more for drifting...

Once again

Tie rod ends will not change the travel of your steering, you would need a new rack.
