it is basicly an outer tie rod, that you can adjust, there are spacers on the part that connects to the spindle. so can re-adjust the angle of the tie rod, after you lower the car.

ahh. thats simple enough.

does it come with diffrent height spacers or do you have to modify the one they give you to be "perfect" for your ride height?

Look again- I used every spacer that came with the kit and it still did not get my angle low enough to set correct- HOWEVER- it did set things better than the stock tierod! MY angles are fine because MY suspension is so stiff I have barely any suspension travel (maybe 1" travel- most everyone elses cars move between 2-4" travel because of softer suspensions and/or V8 weight) YOUR car will vary based on ride height and weight.
My car is also lower than most any on this board. I have a lightweight V6 and can run lower without grounding out.
