Seat height..

I was wondering if any members here have aftermarket seats in your evo's? Do they sit any lower than stock? Because the height of my stock recaros is really high...Is there any way to just buy a new bracket, because dont get me wrong, these seats are friggin awesome, but i love the height of my friends sparco fighters in his lancer...Any comments would be helpful

HKS Kansai service do specially made seat rails to lower the stock seats down. I was thinking the same thing, I used to have some Momo's in a DCII integra, and they were great low.
Pity I mounted my amps under the seats so I cant lower the rails anymore.....

My seat height is ok, the only thing they missed is the adjustable thigh support especially for long drives.

Seat Height

I have Bride seats and they are too low for me. I have ordered a frame to raise them. I am 5 10. I like the stock seats but with a helmet on there is not a whole lot of clearance.

There is a guy named Gino - pm me for his #. He customizes the OE brackets to lower you about an 1".

I have Sparco Milano's with RMR Special barckets that have me sitting on the Floor Just think 225lbs. about an inch lower

The amps under the seats are great. Out of the way and nice and low. THere is actually a little hollow under there as well so the passengers are very unlikley to kick them, and I put them in with the wires left and right anyway so if they kick them nothing will happen.

i met one guy a while ago who cut his brackets. he was sittin' real low and was loving the lower center of gravity.

he had a blue '03 EVO with supposedly $15 grand invested in it.

it pulled like a ****.

I think stock location for me (5' 11") is perfect. Just my 2 cents.
