There's a big problem with adding spacers into the rack itself . { I would comment more on that company's work but that already results in the Probation < }
That moves the lowercontrol pivot location out of alignment with the inner tie rod joint , what this will cause is the incorrect alignment rules for macpherson suspension . What this will cause is non factory ackemann due to the shortening of the tierod length overall . Secondly the lower control arm pivot {lower bush point } to inner tie rod alignment is parallel on the macpherson in the AE86 , what this achieves is in the plane of movement up and down in the suspensions working operation the toe in / toe out characteristics do not change .
Basically moving the that inner tie rod joint location will make the suspension toe in on braking from memory , lots of macpherson designs do have this plane offset . A example that comes to mind of changing this characteristic is the E30 bmw , stock models have a different plane compared to the M versions , the M version have a offset lower control arm mount at the rear to produce more camber as well as this change making the suspension geometry toe out under heavy braking since is the higher speed model .
Making the vehicle toe in from spacing that tie rod point would result in if the vehicle was fitted with a non drift spring rate {ie something that allows dive when braking hard} would result in a dangerously light feel at the wheel , as well as pushing produced when turning under braking . Toe in can be used for stability in braking not by direction turning wheels , ie rear wheels as induction tyre slip angle as contact pressure is reduced as the weight transfer is applied to the front wheels .
