Guys, I don't get rack spacers. I know they work, but I can't understand how.
Install rack spacers, get wicked toe out. Re align to get toe back in check, didn't re-aligning just negate the spacers?
Explain like I'm 5.
Spacers space out the steering stops from the rack. So now the steering stop has like 5mm more to travel before it hits, which gives you whatever amount of steering angle. Keep in mind, this is INSIDE the rack.

Does anyone have a link for where to buy the washer spacers? I've seen some on Ebay that are spendy to ship to the U.S
Are E36 and E46 racks the same size?
I make them by hand. $20 shipped in the US. They aren't machined to perfection but they work. Regardless of where you get them, locktite them tie rods. And yes e30/e36/e46 are all the same.

Is NerpTech still selling Items? I haven't seen them post anything for 6 months online...
Anyone have the specifics on how many degrees of angle it increases at 5mm spacer?
Depends on the car. It's like 5 to 10. Nothing major
