I think you'll find many more commuters buying it than you anticipate. This need has been discussed periodically for at least the five years I've been here, among people who never track the car at all.

BTW, you folks really ought to put a thread in the vendor section. That's where people usually look for products from vendors. A lot of your potential customers don't even realize this is available because you put it in a weird location.

Sure. Tall commuters, or people who like to sit far back. Just noting that for track use, you don't have to be tall for it to be beneficial.

Are there any other photos of this spacer besides just the one?

What type of photos would you like to see?

Desktop version of our site has a gallery. Click the first image to see the others. Mobile version just shows main image. If you are on your phone, scroll to bottom our our site and click gray button "view full site".

In any case, OP shows all the pics that are on our site. It's an externally featureless aluminum cylinder anodized black. IOW, not much to reveal beyond the one close up you have already seen.

As Ed asked, do you have a particular feature you are trying to identify or specific question that we can answer? Fire away.

I want this for every single car there is. Just ordered. Can't wait. Thought he "superbox" shipping thing doesn't make sense to me. I assumed it was just the cheapest shipping.

new2subaru 07-03-2019 07:33 PM

Thanks. Hoping this helps with my helmet rubbing the headliner. I always worry about that and don’t want to screw with the seat right now.

Shipping this product was a little tricky with our site. If you're close by, FedEx ground is cheaper. If you're further away, Superbox is cheaper. If you order along with a set of wheels, shipping is free :)

Can't speak for the other guy, but I would have liked to have seen the adapter itself from another angle, just so I could visualize how it's supposed to fit in there and do the job. Seems like there has to be more to it than just a machined aluminum cylinder, or else it would just push the wheel off the splines and not work. If I didn't have some level of confidence in the technical expertise you folks have displayed so far, I may not have ordered it without that detail.

But since I've already bought it, I'll see for myself soon enough. For those who haven't, I'm sure someone will post pics of an unboxing and installation once the first few units arrive.

I was surprised how expensive fed ex ground was to norcal. I'd ship to my parents in Mission Viejo, but I'll still probably get it faster straight to me. ;)

Ya, that’s what I was after. I’ll have a look when I get to a desktop

You won't see anything new. It's just the same pictures they posted here without a close detail of how it attaches.

turbofan 07-03-2019 09:12 PM

Seeing as how we have shipped out all the ones we got, it'll have to wait til the next batch (or for customer photos) but we will take more pics. It's quite a nice piece of machining, definitely more than just an aluminum cylinder.

If you have any questions about shipping costs for your order, email us at info@949racing.com. We always try to be fair with shipping costs, so if something seems unfair chances are there's a glitch of some sort.
