The foot pad was found to be 3 inches too short or low for me. I checked it by placing a single piece then two sections of 2" x 4" to be sure that I liked it, the first time. I drilled a few holes it the wood to allow longer screws to attach the wooden pad to the floor and then added a bit of black rattle can to finish the job. I have included a photo for your attention.

This really worked for me and you may choose a different thickness to suit your needs and driving style. It did not cost 5$ and it really did the thing for me, especially when Iam into the brakes or corners at 1.0 G.

Enjoy Woody
lol At least attach a nice piece of diamond plate to it or something!
