Feeler: Who's interested in lowering brackets for their OEM Recaros?

Guys,

RussellM from Mitsubishiparts.net is a retailer for a company that makes lowering brackets for Evo 7/8/9 OEM Recaros and evidently they think that no one in the X community would be interested in these. Let's prove them wrong! Based on discussions I've seen in the past I think there are enough of us out there interested in lowering their OEM seat that we could get a company to start producing them for us. So, who's interested in lowering brackets for their OEM Recaros?

Here's a thread with a sample of the company's current product line for the Evo: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/mi...echnology.html

I knew there was and it sounds like its time to see if we can round up enough people who can committ to buying them to get them produced. Ill let you know as soon as I do how many we need to sell to make it happen.

Good to hear, I'll add your name to the list.

was thinking about this on my ride home today... def interested!

Don't be shy guys, if we demonstrate there's enough interest, there's a good chance we can get these made!

hm looks interesting

Don't mean to troll but how tall are you guys? I'm 5'10" and I can't even see my hood without lifting off the seat.

Be nice if they could go a little farther and make it height adjustable. Even if they are predetermined height notch's that you cane select to go up or down.

Actually, what A LOT of customers who come in to look at Evo's ask is "Is there a way to move the seats up?"

So, there are probably a lot of people who would be interested in either a lifter and lower - or some kind of 2 way pump.

LOL I was thinking the same thing. I am 6'2" and I feel like a midget in the car. I was hoping for something to raise the seats.

I'm game if the pricing stays the same.

Just FYI, Binary produced these early in the X days. They didn't work out as many felt the seats were too low as it is. That may be why you're getting some resistance.
