Just curious, but I was wondering if anyone has ordered and used products from flat 4. I ordered a reproduction of the original EMPI T handle shifter. Seemed to be good quality and I didn't pay that much for it. again...just curious because I haven't heard much mention of their products on this site.

I went nutz and bought the same shifter, enkei rims and the walnut steering wheel. I love and have had no problems with any of them except that the wheel does not feel like wood, more synthetic. Chris

I'm using the same Flat-4 shifter, steering wheel, and sprint stars and have no complaints.

How does one order from Flat 4 when there are apparently no distributors for some of their products? I've visited their site and located parts I want, but not where to buy them. Looking at their links to distributors didn't help because they don't carry full lines. There is a link to their online shop but the whole thing is in Japanese except for their posted business hours.

I have found a couple of European retailers, but as I'm in the U.S. I would prefer not to have to pay inflated international shipping costs, first from
Flat 4 to Europe, then from Europe to me.

Anyone have any suggestions?

We stock many of the Flat 4 products, so does CB performance.

It's the "many" part that has me messed up, because "many" is not "all" and what I'm looking for is in the minority it seems. I've checked with CB Performance and they didn't have what I'm looking for.

So, I'll ask you since you offered: do you sell Flat 4's pear shaped mirrors, model #s BD-706 and BD-707? And, while I have you here, how about their Sprint Star wheels?

Thanks for addressing this with me!
