Question Shorter drivers fit in Evo IX?

Hey guys, quick Q:, I have an altitudinally challenged friend, about 5 feet even, and this person says they have trouble pressing the clutch pedal to the floor. I don't own an Evo at this time, and haven't yet, but are any of you guys 5 footers that have had similar issues? Is the stock seat adjustable enough to make it comfortable to work the pedals, or are those lowering brackets that I found while searching the best option?

TIA!

unfortnatley there is not alot of ppl who are small who drive evo's!

I am the same size as u, we jus adjusted my seat w/ washers... honestly, i still have a LITTLE trouble putting it right to the floor but it engages no problem before that so its cool! No grindage, nothing!

I'm 5'7"...I would think there is more than enough room to move your seat forward and depress the clutch

you can lower the seat with replacement seat rails if that helps

use the Kansai Service

or

do not use the Binary for a short driver

the brackets prevent the slide from moving all the way forward
