The G sucks at turning

So I got a set of these:


custom inner tie rods, tein S14 on the rack side to use spacer for more angle. A few Z guys are running these, any G's using them yet? I searched but found nothing.

So is this supposed to help with the turning radius or the handling capabilities?

If it helps with the radius let us know, that is the one thing I really hate about our cars!

Yes, it will decrease the turning radius. The only performance application is for drifting, where they allow you to attain a higher angle of countersteer before full lock. I use them on my track cars for that purpose, but I had the set for the G made only to address the horrible turning radius problem, no plans to track it. I will let everyone know how they work even tho I already know its gonna be awesome, these are just modified to use the exact same tein inner portion as I have used on my S chasis cars.

e-mail alex@battleversion.com if you want to buy a set. He makes them per order so they are not listed on the site, but you can check out www.battleversion.com to view his other products.

the inner portion has a longer threaded part that goes into the rack, so you can put a spacer there. The spacers effectivly give you more throw on the rack before its extended all the way.

its half of a tein inner tie rod, that gets welded to a G35 inner tie rod. Basiclly he is making you a G35 tein inner tie rod since tein does not make them yet but the rack uses the same size thread as an S14.
