Default SPL Outer Tie Rod Ends Question

So they are adjustable by putting the spacer under the cone which will push the rod up and down (angle coming from the steering rack). Will this straighten out the tire rods from the rack to the hub similar to stock?

The reason I ask is because I am at work right now sitting in my desk and I forget if the tie rods angle up or down when the car is lowered. If they angle upwards, then these theoretically would lower the joint connected to the hub, making the tie rods closer to straight like stock. (like drop knuckles)

They angle up, then the spacers push them down to level. Helps with bump steer

It has to be on the ground and wrong camera angle to see if they are properly set

Perfect, thanks for the info !!

New pics would be great...Yes wrong camera angle, wheels need to be on the ground and put camera under the front bumper with it pointed towards the rear of the car
