EVO X Adjustable Seat Rails for stock Recaros

Hi,

So i've been driving the hell out of my car, about 10-15 hours of driving on most weekends because I have a second job that requires a lot of travel. I've developed tendonitis in both of my knees (from what I think is the lack of thigh support from the stock seats).

I'm six 2 and I feel like i need to support my knee the whole time while driving rather than the seat holding my legs. So long story short, I'm looking for a rail that would allow my to raise of the front of the chair to support my legs/knees better - anyone have any suggestions?

Are there any adjustable rails that will allow for height/angle adjustments to raise the front or the whole seat up?

Any advice would really help me out, thanks!

I've been looking into this also and still has not come with a fix. The only thing I read was using an extended bolt and some washers. Not sure how safe it is but that's about it. In the meantime, I'm just using some padding since I'm hella short. =/

Yea, I'm also looking into having the recaro sport - sportline seat installed - looks similar to stock and has adjustable lumbar suport - extendable seat length and fully adjustable height/angle control - u might want to look into that

Update

So I went to Auto-Mat on Long Island in Hicksville and they said they can install a bracket that will allow me to do height and tilt adjustments to the seat (can come as electric or manual). Electric base plus installation and the custom bracket to fit it comes to about 1000 bucks including labor. Pricey but worth it IMO as it makes driving the car super comfortable.

I will update after install is complete.
