Default Idea for fixing Toe issues on DC5/EP3

As some of you might know, when you lower the EP3/DC5 the front toe goes in.. this is great for stopping, but not so great for turning, especially if you want negative camber up front as well.

Here is a diagram of my idea for getting more toe out on the lowered EP3/DC5:

Now, to find some scrapped tie rods and ends...

did you estimate that 1/2 inch or did you do alot of research on it, if you do plan on doin this you better make sure that it'll be right or your alignment is screwed

That would more than likely work ok, but would 1/4" give you enough to get the tow-out that you need?

If you buy some scrapped rods, see if you can thread the rod up further too.

Yea, 1/4" doesnt seem like it would be enough.
What is that, like 3-4 extra turns? I need like 6-7.

Nice idea though, let us know how it works out.
