Default passing the broomstick test

does anyone know the approximate driver hight that will allow you to still pass the broomstick test with stock steats? Also, I heard you can lower the stock seats by removing the rails, not sure if that is true, but if so does anyone know what that will lower the seat by?

Just get in your car with the seat in the correct driving position with your helmet on and have someone hold the "broomstick" and see. Everyone has their seat in a different position. I'm 5'10" and can't pass that test.

Seat rails to lower the stock seats a few inches are available from 2 companies. Do a search for lowered seat reails and you should find them.

Hope this helps you.

With what roll bar? The stock hoops? I would guess that most organizations that require the broomstick test would not consider the stock hoops adequate no matter how short the driver is.
