Ok as i told you before.

When you lower your car dramatically , the steering rack becomes more slanted on your DC5R ( gay Macpherson setup)

So in order to correct it a bit, you need to get inverted tie Rod "ends" to flip teh connection and decrease the angle of the rack.

The shortened Steering Tie rods allow for more camber and toe( not much toe honestly),

And if you car is really slammed, you will need RCA ( roll centre adjusters) or roll centre ball joints to correct the balll joints or it will damage over time.
