Hey i am wondering where i can get spacers for my tie rods, or am i way better off just putting out the 175 for tien tie rods. im short on cash so i only wana do whats totaly necessary. i have the car lowered on springs and kyb shocks, and was told i should do this mod before i get a alignment which i need horribly.

Why do you think you need to lengthen your tie rods?

Go get an alignment - FIRST. You're not lowered enough to warrant any special mods to the steering rack, and longer tie rods / spacers are used to increase steering angle (for drift). No need.

Saved ya some $$. :)

No need to spend 175$ on hardened oem rods and rings. Then again, probably no need to even buy spacers.
