Default 6"3 235lbs lowest Seat/rail possible??? HELP!!!

Hey guys so i have searched and read many threads and still haven't gotten an answer..... Please help in desperate need of some advice

I am searching for the lowest possible seat/rail combo it DOES NOT have to be fully comfy. This car will not be driven for no more than 1hr at a time. So that means mostly tracked and very very little daily driving.

I am 6'3" 235lbs hope this is enough info. I don't really care how the seats look just looking for something which doesn't make my thighs rub the steering wheel. Also wanted to know if a new steering wheel would help at all? any suggestions? Thanks once more....pm or email me at Driftanything@gmail.com

I've got a set of Bride seat rails for a bucket that can pretty much set the seat on the ground. They are for Civic, but I'm sure they make them for S2K as well.

Thanks for reply.
All of my research says that the mugen rails seat the lowest but now I'm in search for a seat which will match with the mugen rails and combine for the lowest set up possible. I even went as far as removing the driverside door skin which has helped significantly to my suprise. A smaller steering wheel along with a 2inch or more drop and ill be able to drive this thing the way its suppose to be driven. LIKE I STOLE IT!

If anyone has suggestions please do not hesitate to run them buy me.

you may have better luck on s2ki then here. it appears that taitec/nagisa rails and recaro SPG may be your best bet. brides are kinda narrow and more for skinny people. otherwise, you could look into the bride zeta type L. you didnt list your waist size though.

Bride are very skinny. A Buddy Club XL or Wide, whatever they call it might be nice for you. Or like people said the Recaro SPG or Pole Position are low sitting seats as well.

Lowest rails would be mugen, taitec, or a buddy club with taitec style L brackets for mounting seat to rail.

Also like you said a smaller steering wheel. I think OEM s2k is 350mm, so a 330mm would make more room.

move your steering wheel out closer to your body, that way your legs have more room. it works. worked for me (i'm 6'3")

im 6'3" 260lbs and I did the Backyard seat rail which lowered the seat as much as it would go and still have enough room to move all the way to the back position. It works for me.

6'3" and 220. i have a memory fab CF bucket with their seat rail and i'm basically on the ground. I have plenty of room, and you also might consider the VGS steering wheel or a smaller diameter one.
