Hey guys, so I installed some Circuit Sports FLCAs and Yamato Garage tension rods yesterday. I put the wheels on and there is a ton of toe out. The steering wheel only turns one full rotation to the left or right before the wheel hits the coil. I am using stock tie rods at the moment. Can I fix this simply by adjusting the tie rod so that the toe goes in and straightens out or by reducing the length of the FLCA and tension rod? Upon installation I adjusted the FLCA to get more negative camber and as a result, I also had to extend the tension rod to get it to bolt to the FLCA; perhaps that could be why there seems to be so much angle.
I have an s13 hatch; the wheels are 18x9.5 in the front; steering and toe was fine until I installed these FLCA and tension rods.
These first three pictures show how the wheels sit with the steering wheel straight:
