offset steering rack bushings

Will i need the offset rack bushings?I have a 87 XR-7 and i'm going with the stock 87-88 turbo coupe springs and struts.Will they lower it enough to need the offsets or will the regular ones be fine?
                                                    Thanks in advance,
                                                              Joe

no, and if its a v8 the front will only lower about 3/4". back shouldnt lower at all

Ditto.  I've got the same springs on my car and did not need to offset the steering rack.

The won't fit anyway so the point is moot.. The 86-88's motor mount tab on the k-member interferes with the rack when attempting to use them.
