if you have this seat whats your height and weight? and how comfortable are you in the seat?

im 6'3" 220-230lb and tryin to get feedback on the seat to see if its right for my size

edit: and what brackets/sliders are you using and how much lower than stock does it sit? im thinkin about modding some stock rails for them but need to know if it will sit low enough for my helmet to fit good (its hard right now with stock seat)

thanks for any help

I'm 5'11" and now a very round 250 lbs, when I bought it I was about 220 lbs. It is an extremely comfortable seat. I went to a Sparco showroom and sat in every seat they had before I made my decision.

The best way to tell you how comfortable is, the first long road trip I took in it was 8 hours to Expo3, Never once did I get any lower back pain or did my *** fall asleep which used to happen in the stock seat on long trips. The only limiter was my foot falling asleep at constant speeds. But that's not the seats fault.

I never feel fatigued during or after driving a whole day or weekend worth of track sessions.

Best thing to do is find someone local (shop or friend with the seat) and go sit in it to see how it feels.

Wedge engineering base custom modded, Sparco steel rails, and Sparco sliders.

It doesn't, it's actually higher. The only way you'll be able to get it lower is to not use sliders and just bolt it directly to the floor.

I guess anything is possible but I don't think it's a good idea to mod the stock sliders.
