steering angles..
ofc, i've searched before writing this thread. i know that you increase the steering angle by either using the spacer or geting longer tie rods or tie rod ends. I've got a few questions for you.
How longer, either from the tie rod or the spacer, do i need to lengthen to get almost as twice as much steering angle as original?
How do you deal with the wheel alignment after doing this?
I was looking at Tein tie rod and tie rod ends. Are they saying both tie rod inner and outer?
What are some side effect of having twice as much steering angle as the original?
I'm sorry for asking hella questions...i' m deadly curious right now.

Assuming you want more angle when you turn the wheel to the max left or max right:
The problem is not your tie rods. If you increase those you will just have a lot of toe in. The limiting factor is the steering stops that are on the lower control arms. Shortening those will give you more steering angle. The other problem is the steering rack is only so long, so it will only move so much before it bottoms out.
That is if I am understanding you correctly. You are not being very clear.

So do i have to get longer steering racks and lower control arms?

Look in the drifting section for best answers. Lots of talk about this over there.
