Default Better steering angle?

Yooooooooooo!!!


It's 2:33am here. Woop. So I was thinking about my car and how crappy the steering angle is.

Anyway to improve upon that? Steering knuckles perhaps? Just wanted to know what you've done to help, for the guys that slide.

upgrading your tie rods is one of them...I'm sure there are many others

I have URAS magic rings ( tie rod spacers)

best bet is JIC tie rods and then tie rod ends from a JZA80, megan makes them but i dont like their quality of tie rod ends.

best bet if to find some one that can import some name brand ends for you.

i have heard this as well. people in japan use the celcior/LS400 racks. i have not looked into information about it though. first step would be to call Powered By Max and get a set of spacers from them. i dont know if they are still running the promotion but before you were able to get them for free when you contact them as long as you pay shipping. contact them and find out. that would be first step.
