alrighty.... I picked up a set of jic tie rod's a while back... i recently installed them approx 2 months or so ago...
i also install kazama tie rod's along with these bad boi's

first driving impressions are
#1 great deal of extra turn in
i am able to do alot of stuff i normally couldnt do...
#2 drifting is great due to more steering angle...

the bad thing i noticed is that
#1 the tie rod end now bangs the front lca badly and i don't like that part...
#2 turning the wheel the other way (oppositie of the tie rod portion) the spring / shock combo (nismo shocks/tein springs) will actually get stuck in the shock well..

and... to top it all off...
during dd 9 in vegas
my car broke its tie rod..
i did not hit anything and it was mid drift
when all of a sudden my tie rod rips out of the steering rack...
i call up jic and they blame it on improper installation, BS!!!!!!

they cant do shit for me cuz i drift... so basically i am screwed now... and it blows! i need to get a new rack and another tie rod...
oiiii!
here are some pics that i have enclosed...
