actually i just had an opportunity to buy those rails from a local member but i passed up on it for the time being. mainly because i wanted to get an aftermarket bucket seat but i have come to the conclusion that it would be too hard for me to get in and out of the car with one so now i do just want to get the BYS lowering rails.

may i ask how tall you are? im just trying to gauge how much the lower rails will help me. also- do you know where i can get them from? how hard of an install is it?
6'3" with a 32" inseam. Installation is easy unless you have the factory alarm installed under the seat. I got mine from Bulletproof Automotive. They have a group buy on them on and off in the GB section.

It lowers the seat about 1".

Nearly every week I drive 2-5 hour long distance driving and the key for me was taking 5 minute breaks every 2-3 hours. 4 years later the back feels great still and I'm 6 2".

Surprisingly some say a race bucket is better than the stock seat. While this may seem counterintuitive, the race bucket actually supports your whole body unlike the stock seat which only really supports your rearend.

yeah i totally believe that. i just wish i could fit in one i just dont think i could get in and out of it with the side bolsters around my legs being higher than the oem seats because i have to slide my legs sideways to get out.
