Steering Wheel Spacer MX-5 ND

Bringing the steering wheel closer significantly improves the driving position, especially for drivers without telescopic steering wheel adjustment or those with long legs. The challenge lies in finding a comfortable steering wheel posture in vehicles without such adjustment options, without having to keep the legs in a cramped position. To avoid this, the seat is often pushed backward. However, this often exacerbates the issue as the steering wheel becomes too far away, leading to an unnatural posture with overextended arms.

A steering wheel adapter, such as the one designed for the Mazda MX5 ND, provides a solution here. It brings the steering wheel 5 cm closer to the driver, allowing the seat to be moved backward to create more legroom while maintaining a natural steering posture without overextended arms. This leads to a significant improvement in driving comfort.

The previously common method of replacing the OEM steering wheel with an aftermarket one with different dimensions did offer a solution but came with drawbacks. Due to airbags and steering wheel controls, this approach eventually became an unacceptable compromise.

Enthusiasts of driver-focused cars like the MX5 particularly benefit from this solution as they:

• Experience improved driving sensations,

• Feel a stronger connection to the car,

• Gain more space, creating the impression of a larger vehicle,

• Optimize pedal control (e.g., heel-and-toe techniques),

• And avoid issues with helmets, switches, or levers during track driving.

This innovation not only enhances driving pleasure but also significantly improves functionality and safety.
