And I don't want to add an extra 50 sets of 8° rake adapters on the shelves. Inventory can get costly pretty fast ;-) 8° rake adapters will most likely be special order productions for Group Buys or wholesale. The regular adapters for 4° never had a complaint about the angle and everyone loves them.


      Well, not to be a pain, but add this to your customer satisfaction data - I own two sets of your Massive 4 degree adapters that I bought new from you, and would like to get 8 degree adapters to replace them. I have had the 4-degree sets for approx 10 years, I think, and have always wanted to have more rake.

      No one asked me whether or not I loved them. So it’s not accurate to say everyone loves them. They are well made, and functional. But I would prefer the extra rake.

        By the way, my post is not intended as an insult. Just plain, clear information. I like your products, I really do.

          Don't worry. I never read it as being a negative comment or an insult. But I heard you. I think that rake is a matter of personal taste. Original Keiper Recaro adapters were totally flat. Let's see how people like the new version. Who knows what can happen?

                      It seems that kits have started being delivered by July 23rd and that by today, most kits shall have reached their destination. Once you have installed your seats, please let us know how you like that extra rake. And don't hesitate sharing pictures. ;-)

                        I know for me the extra rake may help with geometry a bit.. I have long legs, and always have the issue of being too far away from the wheel if my legs are not bunched up, or my legs hanging in the air if my arms are comfortable distance. With the extra rake, my legs are supported better with placing my body correctly at the steering wheel (wrist on top of wheel, elbows slightly bent.)

                          Hi, I went to install mine today and found that the early model (84) seat sliders are different and wont work with these. Anybody know if I can just get a late model set of sliders to use them? They do look very nice and I would like the extra rake. You can see in the picture the rear hole is a square on the early model and is quite a bit larger than the new one, existing adapter for reference. I tried to pull the slider off the connecting bar
                          but it doesn't seem to want to come out.

                              Thanks, here's the passenger side put together. Had to drill out the front mounting hole on the slider but otherwise went well.

                                Hi everyone
                                I just received a PM from Kyle. It seems he has 4 of the same mounts. That is 4 right mounts. Not two of each side. Which means somebody will receive 4 left mounts.
                                Please check what you received and let me know if you are the unlucky winner. I will try solving the problem as soon as possible
