As far as I know, there aren't any aftermarket tie rod ends available besides Megan. What most people do is get their knuckles chopped and rewelded to add angle. I believe Battle Version and PSM does it.

i believe this has already been addressed in the other steering angle thread. a tie rod end itself wont give you more angle, you already got your knuckles done, tie rod ends with rod ends are more durable and with a spacer can provide a better angle for bump steer due to a lowered car. please revisit that thread. lots of info there, megan, batter version, or just make your own.

Since when did bver have tie rod ends? And what is this nonsense about outer tie rod ends giving more angle?
Inner tie rods can increase angle, but wont always until you add a spacer. Tie rods like uras already have a spacer integrated onto the threading, so thatll allow for a tiny bit more angle. Im currently running just a spacer with stock inner and outer tie rods.

From what most people who modify knuckles have said, adding tie rod spacers to a knuckle setup is a waste of time. Seems like this is especially true in SC's. Max angle with PSM knuckles is around 65 degress of angle. Most people will not be able to achieve that due to the amount of fender well/swaybar clearance needed. According to Dan at PSM and Alex at Battle Version stock tie rods are more than strong enough. Only reason to change them is for bumpsteer adjustment.

I've personally been looking at the Yanack ones simply because of how much bumpsteer adjustment they give you and how low I plan on setting my car.
