Default Teg seats at EK height

So i read that teg seats are substantially lower than stock EK seats and although i'm no shorty at 5'-10" I would feel strange and potentially look like a midget sitting on the floor of my car.

Any way around this? as SI seats are very hard to come by.

Can I use stock rails on teg seats? or is the problem in the seat being thinner by design?

Thanks in advance,

Rey

I would try installing them first or taking a spin in someone's EK with the Integra seats. I bet you'll find you like the way they sit.

The Integra rails won't work, you would have to make something custom to sit higher I think.

You're right, they wont. The inside back mount doesn't line up by almost 1/4". But its very easy to just swap the rails from the stock ek seats to the teg seats. Very good swap imo, the teg seats hold you much better and they are by far more comfortable.

Thanks for the quick reply

How much lower would you say your sitting on the teg seats?

It's noticeable, maybe 1-3 inches, I'm not really sure. I like it better though, they're better in every way.

i just swapped my stock ek seats to ls integra seats, and they are a great improvement for a fraction of what aftermarket seat would cost. i just swapped out inner rail on both seats. as far as the height goes its a slight drop compared to the ek seats.

Integra seats are like 2 inches shorter.
Tall people or poeple that like sitting low like del sol seats, because of that, Most however think they are uncomfotable, not only ugly lol.

You think youd look like a midget lol My friends sister is 5/6 and has f1specs with low rails, she is a midget lol
