Will my rack spacer, extended ball joint, tie rod combo work?!

I won a free set of Godspeed tie rod ends, and just purchased abercrombie rack spacers last night.

I'm looking to extend my ball joints like 1"- 1.5".

What I'm wondering is, will this even work? Will they be too short?

I'm very ******* unfamiliar with this ****. And feel like a complete ******* idiot.

Here is links to what I'm getting.

Rack spacers:

Abercrombie Motor Sports

Tie rod ends:

MAZDA RX7 86-91 OUTER TIE ROD END

Those tie rod ends look super chodey for 1.5" extension. Realized I probably can't run my super nows with my extendo joints.

Those abercrombie extendo rod ends are looking a little better than Super now.

To run those extended ball joints your going to need the tie rod ends that aberchrombie has(the longer ones) if im not not mistaken. I also got the supernow rod ends(same style as GS) and rack spacers. I didnt plan on going with a extended ball joints yet tho cause PBM has a whole entire new LCA setup coming out for the FC very soon
