ok so just this weekend I installed Isis inner and outer tie rods and brought it to my local Performance alignment shop.
The technician, who is known in town for what he dose. Has threaded the tie rod ends all most completely into the inner tie rods and has only just brought the car to even toe but the front wheels still have a few degrees of positive camber.
the parts i changed out over the weekend are as shown below

ISIS Performance Inner and Outer Tie Rod

ISIS Pro Series Angled Front Tension Control Rods

ISIS Pro Series Rear Traction Rods

ISIS Pro Series Rear Toe Control Rods

ISIS Pro Series Rear Upper Control Arm

the only problem I'm having is with the front toe of the car. i'm hoping that someone who has changed to aftermarket tie rod ends may have a similar story and know an answer

The outer tie rods are extended to reduce bump steer and the inner tie rods are only 5/16's of an inch longer then the stock s13 tie rods
The cars sitting about 3 inches from stock and the tie rods are parallel with the lower control arm with the new tie rods.
I have K sport kontroll coils all around so the fronts have camber plates and with the new Angled Front Tension Control Rods there is also caster adjustment.

any help i s appreciated and any questions are welcomed i will answer promptly thanks for the help

Unless you have extended lower control arms and drop knuckles, you'll need to order Z33 inner tie rods. The isis inner tie rods are too long (they are S14 tie rods). You can get either OEM or Tein Z33 inners.

or you can cut your inners and rethread the cut and futher down if needed.
