    Roso is an Add on wheel and is ridiculously expensive and most likely a few month wait (even if you can get one)

    Fanatec CSW is awesome, but good luck finding a V2 for sale currently. might have to settle for a V1 temporarily then upgrade when V2's are available


    I vote Fanatec.

    Awesome, The t300 will get you by for now. If your wanting to mod your pedals to make them That much better, Add a mugen MBX7 buggy or truggy rear shock Instead of the craptastic stock Shock fanatec includes. Also after your first few session's on the pedals, Try moving the pivot point up 1 hole. Completely transforms the brake pedal feel.

    the Install is rather easy, There's a Tiny bit of modification to the pedals themselves (might not even have to actually) it depends how "centered" they got the Shock bushing pressed into the plate. here's mine which has been modified to Ensure it Never touches the shock cap and damages it like the stock shock was.

    Also You also dont need the stock "clip" Its too thick with the plastic bushing in place, a Safety pin is much easier and simpler.

    No welding, and Yes it will be easier to understand it all once you have the pedals in your hands.

    Its the EXACT same unit except for a carbon finish on the face,Which I personally wouldn't justify the price difference for that alone.

    dont put the seat higher.
    Arm length from motor to seat is not critical in being shorter or longer. Its the balance of the seat/frame and where its being pushed at.
    You have set up the actual point of where the motors connect is correct. Motor spacing is fine as well and seat lean, as long as its balanced right.

    But i only move the seat not the hole frame. So i dont think this is a problem for My frame. The hole frame Will be moved by a lazy Susan and another frame under My first frame that has the wheel t300rs pedals clubsport v2 and the seat for the traction loss. So when the clubsport v2 wheel arive i Will only replace IT why should that change My pivot as i only move the seat?
