You are shorter than I am, I can see why you might want to be higher
I want to be lower because I like the feel when I slouch down a bit
One of the things I have always loved about the S, the BMW Z3 being the diabolic opposite, is how down in the car I feel

I'm a click under 6'3" and love the drop.
With the BYS rails, I'm looking much more through the center of the windshield.
All 3 of the S2000's I've had got this mod. Car feels tiny without it.
Hard to believe that little drop makes such a difference in feel.

Thanks Jeff
You doing this to every one of yours is a good endorsement
I know what you mean about looking out the window
I'm one of those people who like to sit upright, very vertical, my seat is reclined one notch only
Because of that my eyes are looking out the window well above center on the glass
And as you know, my seat has no real adjustment to it, it cannot go back farther and I cannot recline further
The drop is the only way to get down in more

I want to place the order! I can easily just do the whole thing on your website, but please, verify for me the right item

My S2000 is an AP1, year 2002
I want the seat drop on my driver's side
Is this the item???

I think the brackets are stupid expensive, but they ARE worth it. I've spent a lot more on a mod I didn't like. This one is a winner.
Just wish I hadn't got lazy and sold my 03 with the BYS rails still in it...

I bought 2 sets new from Bulletproof, and the last one I bought for Mr. White unused from Jim (Shoes59) just recently when I went up to Rochester...

This is the pic shown on the website




Assuming the item shows up, looking exactly like this, I have another question
How much of this light colored metal am I going to see once installed?

I'm wondering if I need to plan on a quick sand and paint
No way am I going to want to see that bright metal

That's an example. All the ones that I got were black.
