#63448, "Racing Seats that make you sit lower??not higher.."


          

I have heard alot about racing seats making us sit higher in the seat. I already have a problem w/clearance issues. What seats out there make us sit at the stock position or lower?? I am planning on getting DAD seats.. Thanks

I know my seats definetly make you sit lower. Im not sure if its because of the custom seat brackets or the seats but they definetly sit lower.

i believe there is a way to trim either the brackets or the floor mounting position. i cant remember. this has been discussed before, but it was a long time ago.

He is correct. It is not about the seats. It is about the brackets/sliders and how you mounted them to the seats.

my brackets are 3 way height adjustable.

Mine are too, but the way the seats fit - I can only use the highest and 2nd highest bracket slots. So you get to choose .. sit high ... or really high heh

mine too....does yours like hit the floor and make it so that the bolts don't line up when you have it lower? because on mine you have to have it all the way up or it doesn't fit. I am going to dremel off the tips of the height part so that it doesn't hit the floor and I can sit lower because its way to high right now.
