what are they used for? I can see the use for them if you need to lengthen the mounting for another application, but its also going to increase the angle the axles have to work in the stock setup

When you slam your car super crazy low it sometimes over extends the axles and stretches them enough to pop out.

Comon on 240s, never heard of it until now on rx7s since they are inherently low from factory.

Will have to be custom made.

May be a problem with control arm bushings over binding and resulting in failure. Will update

the early '87 stub shafts are longer than the later versions... so if you get some later axles and mate them with some early stub shafts it'll result in a longer axle.
