EK Tie Rod Lengths
I went to get an alignment today on my '98 Civic Hatch and my alignment guy told me he ran out of threads on the tie rods and couldn't get my toe perfect.
This is my first time getting an alignment after putting my coilovers on.
I am still learning about car stuff, especially suspension geometry and such, so my question is: how do I correct this?
Some details:
- Lowered on Yonaka Coilovers - I think roughly a 2" drop. I still have 5 inches or so of ground clearance.
- Skunk2 front camber arms
- Blox rear camber arms
- B16A swap
- Aftermarket (new) steering rack
- Front end suspension is 100% refreshed.
So.... do I find extended outer tie rods for this issue?
Thanks.

One, If they're making that much correction on a single tie-rod, something else is off, like the steering joint is off and they're using just one side to correct it. Second, the issue with not enough threads would be an issue with the inner tie-rods not the outer since the inner is what actually has the thread length. Could also be that the aftermarket rack uses some really short inner tire rods, but I doubt it.
