    Steering rack spacers

    Finally got some more work done...
    Simple mod to correct bump steer. I made this 1/2 inch spacer to raise up the steering rack.
    (Benefit of having manual rack and turbo)
    This is the most cheap and simple mod I ever done, but it make night and day difference! Should have done long time ago!

    Here are the two spacers I made... Since manual rack's chassis attachment is flat, you can use aluminum blocks instead of washers.





    Tie Rods position is much better now

    Brembos are finished too. I like the gold much better than the red.
    Rotors are cut and ready for embedding.

    Me and you have very similar tastes in cars. Are you an engineer by chance?
