tierods of any kind don't really affect negative camber. negative camber is affected by the angle the strut is mounted at. sliding the upper mount towards the center of the car increased negative camer, sliding it out towards the outside of the car will lead towards positive


the tein tierods are a stronger unit over OE, offer more breaking resistance (they will bend instead, alowing u to still steer at least) and give additional steering angle

You know that the spacers that increase your steering angle also introduce more bumpsteer, right?

Or if your baller you can have adjustable FLCA and adjust camber that way allowing your camber plates on the coilover for a different use
