Default Lower Your stock seat vs racing seat

Whats up guys, I was wondering is there a way to lower your Stock sc seat? Im 6"3 an even when its on lowest setting Im still quite high. I was planing to get an rsx seat but i foud out its just as high.

Can anyone maybe recomet a solution? Or recoment a seat that would help me sit lower? Thanks

If u get some racing seat brackets they sit lower, the reason the stockers are so high is the electronics underneath them. I plan on getting some ebay bucket recliners. If u look on there right now there are am seat brackets that sit lower

My friend just got a Bride racing seat and it's practically on the floor. That would work well for you.

I'm six six, and finding a factory seating position that fits my stature is impossible. Ive had Recaro seats and custom rails in my cars for the past six years, wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm 6'4 and I love my Supra seats. Plug and play. Best mod I've done so far!

I love my recaros, but my passengers who are under 5"7 don't. The vents for air blow directly to their face lol

On the contrary, are there after market/lightweight seats that would work for a small person? I'm 5'5", so if I had racing seats that were slammed to the floor, I wouldn't be able to see.

I think a direct fit would probably be best like the supra. You have to be really careful with mounting points on a different vehicle make.
say you buy a rsx seat, its a really bad idea to just drill a hole through the floor board and nut and bolt it. I have seen the aftermath of someone doing this and it held on the front and they ripped through in the rear. Owner survived, but not the passenger. But if you make the proper plates for the mounting points I would think an s2000 seat would probably sit lower and still have that factory appearance. Or buy a race seat with the supra slider and bracket.

And here I thought there would be some non 800$+ solution.
