Hmmmmmmmmm,........this may be a product that I "may" look into.
I'm about 5'10 and I HATE having the seat up close to the dash/steering wheel.
I'm assuming after moving the seat back because the clutch is easily depressed after this mod installation, it doesn't affect gas and brake pedal reach? Am I correct?

I have one and think its great. The design is clever, but the fit is not perfect. I can live with that.

Is it "worth it" for the materials/thing itself? No.

But, its well worth it for what it does. Not to mention its the only game in town. Besides, I like supporting people like Bondra - he invented a good product to solve a problem and fill a need in the market. I hope his business continues to be a success.

This is something I need to practice.

As for the pedal. I'm trying to work up a "group buy" type of thing. If anyone is interested PM me. I'm still working on the details.

I'm 5' 6.5"

and my best shifting is happening by extending my toes to get the clutch to the floor. I'm thinking this will be the ticket to better shifting. Well, that and either a Barton two post or all new shifter and maybe some Amsoil.

Go with the MGW shifter and call it a day. After all the research I have done, MGW is the shifter to go with. I will be ordering shortly.

A brief period of driving is needed to get used to the pedal position. Its well worth the $50 for the seat comfort and shift confidence it provides.

I don't understand this either. Does the clutch need to touch floor when shifting? I've never done this. I thought it needed to go past the engagement point to have a proper shift.
