why do you still need the tie rod flips? Wouldnt the extenders put the positions back to the OE setup any way?

With the car lowered on its coilovers both the wishbone and tie rod then point slightly upwards. With the ball joint extenders the wishbones then points downwards again, very near the oem position. This should reset the suspension geometry and also make the anti roll bar and drop links work in their correct positions. Without flipping the tie rods upside down underneath their original positions to match the wishbones they would still be pointing upwards, not good when you hit bumps in the road as they then are pushed even higher when the shock compresses.
