Default Lowering seat... Backyard Special Low Mount

I assume this is the right forum for this one... at 6'4" all torso... I was wondering if anyone had experience with these before spending the money on them. I fit in the car top up no problem, but I'd like to be lower in the car if at all possible as my width is JDM (love the fit of the stock seat for a DD car) but my torso not so much...

I have this in my AP2. Im just a bit over 6'2. Your butt is lowered almost an inch, and i can now see signal lights and other things ahead MUCH better. Highly recomended. PM me if ya have any additional details questions.

If you are asking me about stock, we dont normally stock them. Average lead time is about 2 weeks though once you place an order.

Ok. Just want to make sure, as I thought I heard these won't be in for a few months. I order today, in about two weeks I will have this? If so, excellent.

These are due to arrive in the next container in about 3 weeks. We are accepting preorders at this time as well

So far, everyone that has purchased one of these seatrails had been extremely satisfied; its amazing the difference only 20mm can do!

I'm 6'4" and I love the feel of the lowered seat rail.

Its not too hard to install either as you have to take apart your lower section of the seat which the OEM rail is attached too. And all the hardware (and then some) comes with it so its a cinch, but then again, it helps if you're mechanically inclined.

Good product.
