6'4" here. I got tired of the bugs in the teeth. You can lower the drivers seat ( https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=50658 ) or go with aftermarket seat/modified rail combo. I ended up with an aftermarket seat and a custom rail that lowers me four full inches. I no longer get things hitting me on the head and I feel like I fit in the car much better.



The passenger seat is stock and the guy is several inches shorter than I am yet sits higher. A great change.
I want to be that low in the car like crazy. What seat/rail combo did you go with. I'm 6'3" 210lbs, slender.

It's a racing seat from one of Toda's race cars of unknown brand. The rails I fabricated to take it down as low as possible. I had Taitec rails but they were too high and heavy. These are 1/2 the weight of the Taitec rails and a good inch lower. I did loose the adjustment but the seat is right where I want it. I'm sitting less than an inch off the floor.

I'm 6'0" and fit great but do have to duck at most lights to see 'em change.
My son is 6'6" and he swore when I got the car he'd make himself fit.
He's driving it abit but I think it's just to cramped for him, he won't admit it.
Next car will have to be a Vette. He fit in it when we went looking for a new topless toy last Nov.

Sideways, did you take any photos of your rail/seat combo during the fabrication or installation?

TOTALLY JOKING. Sorry this post is not "value-add."

I'm 6'1" 205 lbs. I drove my buddy's S and he lowered his stock seats by 2 inches. It actually does feel a lot roomier. He's 6'3" 230 lbs.
