I'm assuming that raising the rack is going to throw off the toe.... can anyone confirm this?

Yes it throws off the toe, but so does lowering the car. Raising the rack should also bring the toe back. The spacers help correct the toe and set the rack back to the correct geometry of the suspenion, but you still need to align your car.

Keep in mind any time you lift or lower a car you change the geometry of the suspension. some times for the better, and sometimes not. That's why you should take it to a pro to set it all up for you.

My alignment guy managed to bring my to back to stock after a 1" drop all round using these.

I also take your point on "one size does not fit all"

oh that sucks. well drive around, if the bump steer doesn't bother you or you dont do much high speed stuff then don't worry about it.
