I've been trying to find a set of rails/sliders that lower the stock seat forever. Vision rails/sliders work great, but I believe they only work with the JDM recaros.

any racecar fab or metal fab shop should be able to make you a bracket that would lower the seat, at a much lower cost than JDM bling

You wouldn't, unless you really wanted to sit lower. For us larger folk though, we need more room to prevent our knees from constantly hitting the steering wheel. The seating position that compliments our height greatly hinders the position needed to properly do any type of track/auto-x driving.

I'm short as heck too but in the correct driving position, my head brushes up against the headliner/sun visor when I have my helmet on. That and the fact that I feel that my legs are too "high" up (with the stock seats) which makes me get closer to the steering wheel to get the correct amount of knee bend.

Personally, I'm just waiting on the rollbar so that I can install race shells. Then I can purchase lower sliders/mounts and install a harness.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think someone here used Mugen rails on the stock seats to lower the seating position a bit. I think Yoshi was the one that did it.

Again, I could be compeletly making this up

I would also like to have my seat lower in the car. The 2nd gen integras were nice and low... which I liked.

I need something to work with Evo2's. Mugen Brackets/sliders do not work with the seat, bottom is to wide therefore all 4 bolt holes to no line up.
