I figured they would. People have been discussing the need for this for years.
If we order today, when will you ship it? With people potentially traveling for the holidays, will you send out shipping notices with tracking numbers so we can plan around the arrival? |

Best to contact ED directly about your order. First question he will ask is: "What date do you need it by?" He will then work backward from that date to suggest the best shipping option to fit your needs.

Besides that, whether you send out shipping notices is a policy, not a transaction. Is that a policy you're not comfortable discussing for some reason? Furthermore, I didn't ask "When will I get it?" So the blindingly obvious information that different distances have different shipping times was completely irrelevant to what I asked. |

I'm curious, later on down the road if I were to buy the suspension kit he took such an attitude about (after he was the one who actually told us about it in the first place), who would field technical, installation or setup questions? I have a real interest in that kit, but not if I'm going to be treated like an idiot if I have a question. |

turbofan: btw, can you or Emilio comment something on reach of steering column control stalks with this spacer installed?
From own experience i could operate them with last joint or almost middle of fingers on 100% stock, and with fingertips on 20mm offset (J-Luth steering wheel). I guess, that with 50mm, that will place steering in even better position for, well, steering, which matters a lot on track .. but imho with such it's possible that one will need to take hands off steering wheel to operate lights/turn signal/windwipers at daily driving, no? By chance, have you guys inspected how control stalks are made/mounted, and if it's possible to mod/move/bend(?)/replace with longer analogues them back closer to relocated steering wheel? If not spacing for same amount, then maybe at angle, so that tips are closer? I had seen DIY mods to relocate cruise control stalk (that turns with wheel) for aftermarket quickmount hub steering wheels .. but how it's with lights and turn signal control/windscreen wiper stalks mounted on column? If you had some extra parts/spacers for that, i'd be interested in getting such too. Of course it's not killing flaw, but for ones that dual-use car with most mileage daily driven imho that would be nice convenience extra (especially for me, if i don't want to put back stock steering wheel or buy 3rd w/o own offset unlike current one, which would result in 70mm total offset).

Tape measure really. Obviously everyone's fingers and hands are different sizes. Tape measure in your car, take a look at the distance and see if it will work for you. I have spacers in other cars with race wheels, stalks far away. For me at least, the benefits of not getting my legs trapped by the wheel and being able to reach it comfortably outweigh a little finger stretch,

The miata forum guys use a motorcycle extender for the turn signal. For my hands I don't actually have to remove them from the wheel completely.
