Yep.
The ends are longer than the stock ones.

Actually, I got that wrong.
Sorry about that, I posted the first reply right after I woke up. :P

No, have longer ends doesn't do anything.
Staring at the pics, it looks like there is a spacer for the steering rack itself?

Mazdatrix also offers them for $278.85
http://www.mazdatrix.com/drifting.htm

btw, the rod end (spherical bearings) that Mazdatrix offers with their setup are crap. You will end up with play in those in no time.

Many places offer parts for considerably less. The difference is often with the type of rod ends they use. There is a huge difference in prices and quality among different brands. You get what you pay for.
