Ah i knew there had to be someone else as tall as me with an evo. Yeah, the evo does have more room than a lot of other cars. Even some that you would think would be more spacious and aren't. Ifigure most cars are somewhat of a tight fit for me so I might as well drive what I want.

The question is, for all you Big Boyz.......How do you get a lower seating position......Im 6'0" & have installed the stock Recaro lowering brackets which helped a lot......The lower position (Almost 1") was a move in the right direction =)

My question is: How do I get even lower.....Ive seen the Sparco EVO seat w/ this flat bracket made by the vendor Subline in NE.....I would love to test this set-up....Here is the old post.

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/se...unt-seats.html

BTW......If Im not mistaken the Vendor on this forum no longer sells the stock Recaro lowering brackets.........Ive been told this vendor on Ebay sells them in stainless steel.
