I had a set installed in my VX and it did indeed improve accessiblity greatly. My issue was that some of my regular passenger seat riders were over 6 feet tall and felt uncomfortable with the extensions on (you loose foot room, and the seat back becomes positioned ahead of the A-pillar, so you feel more exposed). I've taken them off and returned to stock. The 2.5" version may be a good compromise.
