stiffer steering rack bushings? bump steer rod ends?

Anyone make stiffer steering rack bushings? I have an s4 with a manual rack. I wonder if anyone makes steering rack spacer/bushing combo. My car has a lot removed from it and it seems like there was a bit of space to raise the steering rack.

On that thought, anyone have reviews on the different bump steer kits? Quality rod ends? enough spacing, or variation of spacing? I saw awr mentioned something about their kit made for their rack. Anyone know where I can get the proper angle to fit my steering knuckle?

free bump.
wondering the same for rack bushings but for s4 power.

i've used mazdatrix steering angle upgrade kit. went drifting and at full lock it actually hit the control arm and broke... the next day after i broke it. since it was tapered it stayed in the knuckle, and during driving in a parking lot it popped out. talked to part shop max, and he just uses stock outer tie rods, so i went back to that after that experience.

i did like the mazdatrix setup. awr, mazdatrix, supernow. any of those. more precise.

honestly i bet just new factory rack bushings would be fine. but if its the same cost for polyurethane or better, i'd go with the aftermarket.
