Suggested Part - Lower Front Standard Seats

[wildcatgoal]

LMR -

A part that I suspect a large number of us 6'+ tall owners would really appreciate is to be able to buy a bracket that lowers the non-Recaro seats. Presently, the seat sits too high, even in its lowest setting - a full 1" higher than the passenger seat, even! This is, quite frankly, ridiculous in a sports car and perhaps you can go to your parts suppliers and ask them about this unmet need. I am literally getting upper back pains having to hunch over and I really would prefer not to basically lay down while I'm driving my car.

Thanks!

I understand this completely, and this isn't the first case of the taller guys making this request. I'll pass this over to my new products team, and see what they think!

Is there any word on this or anyone else making new brackets to bring the recaros/std seats a bit lower. I hate feeling like I'm not sitting in the car. I feel the dash is too low. Anyone else?

I looked under the STD seats and noticed that there are little arms that block the mechanism from going any lower. I might cut those off, see if I can gain an 1". The seat will literally raise me high enough to break my head off on the ceiling. I'm only 6'. But it won't lower me to a proper sports car driving position. It's really ridiculous and, given the back pain I'm having TRYING to get comfortable, it's getting intolerable.
