these are like rack spacers... but has way more 'spacing'... and they are safer in the sense that you dont lose valuable threading to secure the rods in place like the usual slip on spacer rings that go over the threading

double check the thread pitch on your car. i believe these are 16x1.0

Those are my spacers that you posted.

If there is enough interest I could make a run for FC's. The nissan stuff will fit FD's but only certain years with the correct thread pitch in the rack.

^I'm sure there would be plenty of interest. Price is very reasonable for nissans, but just keep in mind that FCs would need 2 spacers, one on each side of the rack.

If you guys are willing to pay ~$100 for a pair I can get them made.

Remember I don't make ANYTHING in china. These are made in the USA with quality materials. The price is a bit higher but out of the 250+ I've sold for s-chassis I've never had one fail or come back to me.

you might wanna feel it out first for potential interest

If i'm not mistaken, i think you have to cut the stock INNER tie rod length down a bit to use these with the stock tie rod ENDS.
Mazdatrix sells their "Angle Kit" with two of these spacers, and the bump-steer eliminating outers for less than $200. And they allow stock INNER tie rods (no cutting).

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
