This spacer fixes one huge issue that the '08 to '14 WRX /STI has plagued with since it's inception in the name of 'safety' and 'regulations'. When you try to perform a basic maneuver such as the heel-toe it puts a huge strain on your foot unless you wear size 16 shoes. Well, strain your feet no more. The 1" that this spacer provides is a distance large enough that the maneuver becomes nothing more than a matter a skill and is a must have for those looking to improve their driving be it on the Street, Track, or Windy Road.
