I am a cheapskate, not paying $50+ for a piece of plastic. I might just glue a plastic disk onto of the existing stopper...
there's other options too. google around...i remember seeing some others that are cheaper

i have an SI but i have the same issue with seating position. 6'3" with very long legs/femurs. If I adjust it to where pressing the clutch is comfortable my knees hit the dash/steering wheel. Kind of have to drive with my left leg facing outward

Since you feel cramped, do this. Start kinda in the middle. Press the clutch fully until you hit floor. Slide back one click. Do this until you (without shifting or twisting) can’t hit the floor. Click it forward until it’s comfy.

thanks, that's it essentially what I have done, but it seems that one click forward is too close, and one click back makes me stretch a bit with my toes (as if standing on my toes) to get the clutch pedal all the way to the bottom.

yet, brake and throttle pedals feel perfect (I have the Acuity throttle pedal re-locator plate, without it I was not able to heel/toe)

I am able to get my wrists above the steering wheel with arms stretch straight, the steering wheel is about at the bottom of the palm with my back all the way back on the seat.

today I lowered the seat about four lever presses down (after raising it two yesterday)

I think that I should stop adjusting every time I drive, and see if I get used to this position.
