Default anyone lower their seat?

I drove another S2000 yesterday and overall I'm in love! i just need to see how far down the "seat lowering" mod will take me... or if i'll have to pony up for aftermarket seats (assuming they sit low enough to make it possible...

Ideally i'm looking for anyone in the area that has done any of these mods... I would like to sit in your car (I do not want to drive your car) and take a look around at how different the seating position is. Hell i'll even take my shoes off. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I can come meet you, or you could swing by my family restaurant and i'll buy you lunch/dinner...

PLEASE someone HELP!!!!

[QUOTE=Highlift,Jun 6 2008, 09:21 AM] I'm 6 foot 3in and can make myself fit into the S comfortably.

I know Jeff, WhrDLMI, has the lowered seat bracket and it definitely makes a difference.

I have the BYS seat rail too. I'm not even as tall as these guys and I benefited from it. Expensive, but worth it for those > 6' tall.

Scroll down in this link and look for his comments on lowering his seat. A no $$ mod I believe.

PM S~Factor?

I wonder if you could do this along with the BYS rail?

How tall are you? I'm about 6'2" and the first couple times getting into the S I thought I was too tall, but it's actually not an issue at all for me. I had to get used to swinging my leg under the steering wheel, but other than that it's cool.

I'm in Baltimore city (Canton) if you need to just sit in the car some more and get a feel for it.
