Weird steering is the alignment being off, not because of rack spacers. If you intend to install spacers you should get them from Powell race shop how developed them, and you should install them first then align car. No point in getting it aligned if you're gonna install spacers afterward.

So I take it you're not selling them now?

Damn. You didn't even give them a day to settle. Maybe they'll settle out a little lower in a week or so.

it broke before the alignment. I couldnt find a shop that could get it on there machine to do the alignment because it was so low. So i guess sometime in between driving it broke an axle now my car is sitting on jack stands.

yea somehow the axle boot busted... im not a hundred percent sure the axle "broke" but it came out of the iron looking thing that is closest to where the axle goes into the trans....
