Default To upgrade inner tie rods or not?

So I have my car (EP3) torn apart and I am upgrading the rack slider to the SHG solid delrin unit in an attempt to fix my torque steer/suspension issues and I am wondering if upgraded inner tie rods are worth it.

I already have the hard race outer tie rods.

Would the k tuned inner rods work with the hard race ends? I know that the k tuned inners are shorter than the OEM rods and the hard race ends look shorter than oem as well. I just want to make sure that this tie rod combo will be long enough.

Sorry for the noob questions!

Thanks

Front what I know both of those tie rods are actually adjustable longer and shorter than OEM. I'm not sure if the ends matter or not. I THINK those only come into play if you're running inverted ends.

Gotcha, I just wanted to make sure they were long enough since my hard race tie rod ends, which are inverted, appear to be shorter than the OEM tie rods ends. But if they're adjustable to be longer or shorter, as you say, I should be ok!
Thanks.
