Default 20mm Bump Steer Kit Clearance Issues?

Hey so I have a 20mm bumpsteer kit by Blox, everything is going pretty cool, got frustrated to get one of the screws in until I realized I have to PUT IT IN first before I try to install the spacers.

Long story short, it appears the tie rod and such are rubbing against the frame, should I be concerned? I mean I figured since the car is going to be lowered it will even out I hope.

Anyone else here running a 20mm bumpsteer spacer on the rack and pinion?

drop the subframe and inch or two. that's what I did, turned it into a cake walk. You will need an alignment afterwards

is 20mm more than the normal one everyone installs? when I installed mine I had a few curses before everything went in. I basically followed rob's install procedure http://robrobinette.com/S2000FrontBump.htm

I'm really low. And it was a walk in the park once I loosened the steering column joint. Wish his DIY mentioned that. Eyeballed my own alignment and now it handles 100x better. I was about 3 full turns out with toe out both sides.
