Default Spiral TB spacer? Adjustable endlings for 100$?

aren't our suspensions and TBs similar to ford fusions and or focuses?

I know under boost such devices are trash but under vaccum would something like this benefit our car? Assuming it fit :

Also as far as adjustable rear endlinks, those I am almost certain should fit our cars since unless I imagined it I am pretty sure there was much discussion how ford shares some the 6 and 3s suspension parts with mazda, and might order them just to make sure, since 100$ seems reasonable for what looks like a sturdy product:
Steeda Ford Fusion Adjustable Rear Endlinks (06-12) 555-1063 - Free Shipping!

Or am I stupid to think they would fit? It seems like their design would be far less noisy than AWR which I had to throw away and go back to stock both front and back, because one of the rear ones literally came apart and was beyond repair and the front ones clunked so bad it made it impossible for me to use the sense of sound to guage the health of my car like I like to usually do.

Skip the throttle body spacer.


The Steeda AEL # 555-1063 does fit the Speed6. For the WL RSB the steeda links will work fine for the looser setting, but will hit the LCA if you try to use the tighter setting.

Also, if you clearance the LCA's so you can run the tighter setting without hitting, the rubber bushings in the steeda links will wear in short order- the angle is just to much. You need to use a spherical rod end like the AWR to allow the necessary angle, but you can keep the top ball joint from the steeda link. This one fits the steeda ball joint-
DWTM-10: DWTM - Midwest Control Products Corp.

This pic compares the steeda to the Racing Beat end link, which also hit the LCA when using the WL RSB tighter setting. You can easily see how much smaller the post diameter is, so you can imagine how if the smaller post hits, just how much the larger steeda link is going to hit. You can also get a sense of how large the lower bushing is on the steeda link.
