Vision brackets will lower the seat, maybe Del Sol brackets too. I too am 6'3" and noticed the teg rails sit high.

I dont know if the brackets are interchangable, but
del sol seats are the lowist I have sat in. Never sat
in recaros though, so take it for what its worth.


ahhh nevermind, beat me to it........

Wedge Engeneering makes brackets that sit 1 1/2-2 inches lower than the stock ITR brackets.

If you have the ITR Recaros, then you should use the recaro seat rails. I believe you can use your stock civic rail as well.

Bride seat rails are low position rails. So low that anything lower, you might as well weld the seat to the floor.

Custom Rails would probably be just as expensive. Or you can always DIY

we are aware of how to mount them, but some of us are too tall, and don't like to get our "lean on" when driving, so the Integra ITR rails are too tall.

Actually, the Wedge Engineering rails are only $60ish
