well i just installed my nismo power brace / and tein tension rods.. huge difference more response and front feels planted to the ground, i dunt know if my stock ones were that worn out. Anyhow i have a question if i installed the tein tie rods , and they give more steering angle will that cause your tires to rub ? im currently on 16" rims with tein springs soon to be d2 coilovers and i was wondering if the tie rods will cause my wheels to rub against anything. thanks.

did you install the included spacers? if you did, then you will have more availiable steering angle, if you didnt then you have the same as before, as for tires rubbing, it depends on the width of the wheel, the offset, and size of the tire your running, i would say, turn the wheel full lock, and look under the car, if the wheel is less than half an inch to the frame rail, then if you install the spacers, they will rub, cuz the spacers add about 15 degrees more steering angle.
