Default Lowering Stock seats

just wondering if anyone has tried this, being 6'4 its a tight fit. Cause i want to start doing some autox or trackdays but with a helmet i dont have any head room left.

all comments are welcome, thanks in advance

i contemplated doing this too because im on the taller side aswell, but the sunken look on the cushion will bother me. i was thinking of getting the whole seat reupholster to gain better lower lumber support or get a new seat but the seat would have to be leather =/

lol, this is my one complaint about being tall its hard to fit into sports cars .

i don't wanna have to buy a after market seat, altho i do like those bride low max seats


guess i'll just have to go racing on nice sunny days and take the hardtop off and go top down for maximum head room haha

Please I'm 6'6 I don't no what you guys are whining about. ; )

Have you looked at the BYS lower seat rails for the stock seats. I think they lower the stock seat almost 2inches.

^^yeah i guess that is a better option and safer as well. but 350 for a seat rail is a bit pricey but if you compare that to a after market seat/rail instead its pocket change lol


initialdean: are you running the bys rail? if so, how is it with a helmet at your height? head room is fine for dd and cruises but with a helmet on is where i run into problems. i only have about a couple mm clearance and every bump my head hits the roof

No I do not have the BYS seat rail. Like posted its a little pricey. Id rather put the money into new seats.
