Don't think so, as far as I know you will need the collars to get more steering angle. I would go ahead and call the distributor your getting them from.

when lowered (esp slammed), any aftermarket rod end that has a spacer or some kind of indentation that will allow the angle of the tie rods to be parrallel to the ground will give you a better steering angle.

PWNT.

Can you add spacers to make them parrallel? or are the inner rods not long enough?

I dont know much about the spacers, but Im sure youll need A LOT of them to make those b!tches parallel to the ground.

You need aftermarket or modified knuckles to have more steering angle.

its because the car is slammed. mine is the same way.

i know modified/aftermarked knucks is the best way like from powered by max. but im sure megan and tein tie rods are a bit longer to increase a little in your steering angle.

The PBMs knuckles give crazy steering angle, but may I ask you why you need it? Are you trying to drift at a 90 degree angle or something?Sounds over kill.
