no dude, hes talking about the rods angling upwards lolol not your steering angle. tierod and lca's angling upwards = ****ed suspension geometry, something we've learned to accept

that spacer is just for more steering angle, not geometry. your car is like the complete opposite of how it's supposed to be, but its ok.

holy ****! is what i said when i saw these pictures.

why don't you just put hydraulics on your ride so you can move up and down as needed. throw on some plates on the rails to create sparks while you drive as well.

it corrects your tie rod angle to an extent on lowered cars. it probably does very little to help in my case but its better than stock. the spacers that go between your steering rack and tie rods give you more angle.

and jared, yea im planning on it.
