I ran steering rack spacers on my old BMW and they were an amazing cheap upgrade for increased steering angle, seems like pretty much the same thing.

Been waiting for a complete system to come out. Different tie rods/spacers will give you more steering angle, but not that much of a difference.

New inner AND outer tie rods, steering rack spacers, and modified knuckles is where the big difference will be made.

Agreed. PBM is still in the works from what I know. It's probably just a matter pf getting everything right. Big steering angle with little fender well clearance leads to issues. People who are low and running big 18s up front are gonna be sucking.

I'm anxious to see what comes out. I wont touch megan suspension components with a 10 foot pole. Hopefully PBM comes out with a whole kit which included inner and outer rod ends
