Default How do i lower my seat?

i am 6 foot 5 and was wondering if there is any way to possibly lower my seat about an inch. I already have the GSR seats without ***** on the side, and i really want to do this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

if you had GSR seats, i say adjust the ***** but since you dont have the *****. Just get some racing seats. That's all

or you can do what the Tall 455 Honkay does, slide the seat all the way back and recline it about 45 degrees. Kelly is just shy of 6'6".

I'm 6'5" and I have no problem with the headroom of the R. I'd like to be able to push the seat back a few inches.

Man I am the same way in my R. I almost wish I would have bought a Prelude because of the leg room.

R is for ppl who is small and weightless
now i see why some ppl's R is slower than others!!
japanese car especially R is for ppl who is not big "big".
i've seen this guy with may be 300 pounds siiting in a R. omg i feel sorry for his R
haha<--dont wanna be mean but instead of thinking how to strip ur interior why not think of how to lose weight

In defense of Vegeta(whom I know personally), maybe some people are just big and they can't lose the weight, dickweed.

So would fat people be better off in LS or GSR since they are less performance oriented?

Vegeta do you really weigh 330...I guess that's the Super Saiya-jin stage II or whatever...stronger but too bulky, and too slow to beat Cell...

I think what the guy meant is that fat people need a car with more torque...like a Mustang or F-body. I have a JDM body (5'5", 135lbs) so the R fits me like a glove.

i'm not trying to pick on big guys if so i'm sorry. but just think about this why is R so light? why do honda reduce the wieght of R. i'm saying big ppl should drive like mustang or sth like that, R really isnt the rite car <--my opionion.
once again if i made u guys think i'm picking on "big guys" i didnt mean to, and i'm sorry, apologize.
and u cant really say is not rite when an R has a 300 pounds person sit there compare to a 160 pounds person, which one u THINK will be faster. i could use my *** to think that question.

Yes, delSol seats will lower you about 2". I put them in my 99 Si and 92 CX because with a helmet I set too high.

am i a mutant or something?

at 6'2" i have to push the seat back, recline the back and sit arms straight out just not to touch the ceiling... and then with a helmet on it's almost impossible

I'm 6'3" and I don't have to recline too far...but I slouch in my seat a little, so that helps..

so if i lost my weight, i can keep my R, but becasue im bigger, i have no right to own a R, because thats the impression that i got. however, i guess that my extra weight does not entitle me to my car. so whatever.

Ross I am a accended super saiya-jin, if I was level 2 like gohan i would of beat cell, in reality i am more like trunks during that fight, i have the power to beat him but not the speed

weight counts on any kind of cars, not just R. You statement doesn't hold water. I think you should re-phrase that thing. So, I guess you are 5"1 with 100lbs. GOOD FOR YOU because your car is going to be faster than mine...

Bucket seats rulz!! They lower the seat by good 2" and depending on the bucket seat, the seat back is tilted to make room for taller people. Like dis -> _/ instead of _|

OT: I'm an average guy (5'11", 180lbs). I'm 2 clicks away from having the seat all the way back and 1 click reclined... how do you guys who are 6'6" fit in the car?

hm.....
how heavy is a Del Sol Seat compared to ITR seat?
I like the way I sat on my Del sol... low to the ground, don't have to bent my knee too much...(almost straight)...
