A while back I installed a set of (I believe) TTR rack spacers. I believe they are the mild spacers for Pedders, and I used them with Pedders coilovers without much height drop. I ended up with a very tight clearance though between the top-side of the steering rack and the bottom-side of the back tranny mount. I don't believe there is actual contact (and no signs of it during the engine swap process), but it remains something on my mind.

On another, shall we say, "sport compact" forum, I saw some tidbits about Powell's Stage 1 or 2 tranny mounts helping to fix this clearance a bit. Can anybody confirm if that's true?

 

the rack spacers, originally designed and built by powell motorsports, were designed to work with their brand of rotated mounts.

 

Well, there were multiple heights of spacers though. There were "Pedders height" ones, and then there were big drop ones that were taller. These are also TTR Pedders height ones, so I'm not sure how different they may be than the Powell ones.

 

I'd like to know. Sub'd.
