ECS Tuning Steering Rack Spacers – A Simple Upgrade for More Angle

Whether you're just beginning your drift journey or looking to refine your current angle kit, ECS Tuning's Steering Rack Spacers offer a simple yet effective solution. Installation is straightforward—just remove the inner tie rods and place the spacers with the chamfered side facing the tie rod for an instant angle boost.

During the development of their ECS E90 drift build, the team at ECS Tuning was eager to hit the track and start testing. On the first day of driving, it quickly became apparent that two essential upgrades were needed: a welded differential (which led to the creation of their custom-fit differential plates – (T#:35121162) and increased steering angle. However, rather than jumping straight into a full-angle kit, ECS focused on incremental improvements to fine-tune the car’s handling.

ECS engineers, including a beginner drifter, carefully measured and tested different spacer sizes to optimize angle while maintaining proper thread engagement on the inner tie rod. After extensive testing, they determined that 5mm was the sweet spot—providing the extra angle needed while ensuring a strong and secure connection.

For those looking to enhance their drift setup without committing to an expensive angle kit, ECS Steering Rack Spacers offer an affordable and effective solution.
