Will these be like seat brackets for racings seats that allow you to adjust the rake of the seat? I would be interested regardless.

I'll have to ask Planted when we approach them about manufacturing. I'll let you know when I know more.

Lowering brackets? How about brackets that raise the seat? The seats are too low as it is.

Yeah, the HKS rails are pricey. You could probably buy an aftermarket seat for less!

lol, just imagine the seat about an inch lower! Need to get them made first. But on a serious note, what would you be looking for from a picture of them installed? Asking for real as I'd like to understand what everyone's needs and concerns are for when we talk to a manufacturer.

I think majority of people would rather have pictures over just imagining a lower seat. I'm sure it'll look great, even an 8/9 before and after pic of these installed just to get an idea.

Good idea overall though. I'm sure there'd be a good market for these, especially for the taller x drivers.
