I am 6'3" and love these cars. However, when I sit in one the tack is perfectly blocked by the steering wheel. Not to mention, I have a hard time seeing out the windshield. Small problems really.

Is there anyway to reduce interior ride height?

Has anyone bolted the seats directly to the floor?

Used a thinner race seat?

Suggestions!?

 

lower seat rails will help you. buddyclub, backyard special, etc seat rails will help resolve the problem

ive heard several ppl who have bought the back yard special BYS lowering rails were very pleased with the results.

 

how many inches do the rails on the lowest setting drop you?

 

Get your gangsta lean on. It'll fix the problem.

 

I am having the same problem, although I have figured out how to sit correctly so the steering wheel does not block the tach. I would like to know if aftermarket seat rails will bolt to the stock seat?

 

NOBODY HAS AN ANSWER!!!?!????!!!! Somehow, I find this hard to belive!!!

You should be able to make any bottom mount seat rail/slider bolt to your factory seats (w/o the factory sliders). This will usually require only drilling, worst case you would need to fab up some flat adapter plates. Sorry I don't know for sure if any rail setup would be direct bolt on. I do know that WEDGE engineering can make you whatever you need for a reasonable cost.

 

it says on their site for stock seats, so yes they will, i didnt know they had lower seat rails until this post and i am thinking of buying them but dont know if its worth $300.

 

Recaro SPG with Taitec rails will seat you very close to the floor

 

s2ki has a thread on lowering your stock seat it involves removing the seat pan, drilling and a little hammering lowers the seat about 1.5 inches. i just did it and im not sure if i can tell the difference.

i already said, lower seat rails. wedge are direct bolt on. buddyclub, taitec, etc, needs some modification

 

Backyard Special makes rails to lower the stock seat. All the other low mount rails are for racing buckets only.

have you ever sat in an s2000?

I'm 5'11" and I cannot "lean" in any direction in the car.

and reclining the seats? Ha. Why even include the feature? lol.

The wheel doesnt move how does it block the tach?

 

I just put a Border bucket seat and buddy club super low down rails in. On the highest setting they set higher than my stock seat. On the 2nd lowest setting, they fit me perfectly. Im 6'1 170lbs. My legs arent hitting the center console anymore, i have room on either side of the seat now, and i at the perfect height!!

I am very pleased with the results. To bad larger 190lb + people cant fit into this same setup, unless you got some F1spec seats..
