[AJ]

Allright... is there anything i can do to get my seat nearer to the ground?.. i'm okay when i'm driving... leaning right,, but as soon as i starighten up,, my head smashes on the roof... having the sunroof open is a must...  unless i sit like __  but i'd rather sit like_/ yea know? I'm only 6 foot... long torso i gues...   also, would aftermarket seats sit lower?  I'm lookin for a comfortable seat that is LOWWww.. thanks,,
btw, this is for a s14.  thanks again..   this forum is the shit btw, ur all a bunch of baddasses..

I'm pretty short at 5'8" so I can't relate...but I can tell you that aftermarket seats are generally gonna sit higher than the stock ones.

[kitoro]

i thought aftermarket seats sit lower........
don't bucket seats like lower your line of view or something like that?

[LanceS13]

Well...it's more the brackets than the seats.  At least, that's what I've always heard.  Most aftermarket seat brackets cause the seat to sit higher.  Maybe you could fabricate something to make it lower?

I have no clue what you'll find aftermarket, but if you find something good many of us s13 owners would love to buy your old seats off of you :-)

[my240likenoother]

ya you have to make your own bracket for the aftermarket seat to make it lower i know in his "civic"
its on the floor

[AJ]

So how would i go about making a bracket that is lower?. can i still use my stock seat? &nbsp;i would rather do that,, for now at least <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>, &nbsp;i've nvr really taken the seat out to check it out?. has anyone done this?.. &nbsp;

I've never tried modifying the bracket, but the seats are easy enough to take out. Four bolts, one at each corner. Pop those off and the seat comes right out. You may need to remove some plastic covers to get to them.

i don't know what type of seats you have, but i am 6'3&quot; with an s14, i have no problems. in fact i have more room in my car than most others. of course my driver seat touches the back seat, but still something is wrong with your seats!

I'm 6'4&quot; and my s14 has a sunroof. &nbsp;Even with the seat all the way back and really reclined, my head touches. &nbsp;I'll probably try and lower mine sometime this week.

hahah someone should chop your feet off...

[AJ]

let me know how it goes when u attempt to lower ur seat,, u know,, everything would be fine if the stearing wheel went in and out... u know?... so u could recline and get the wheel back their with ya so you dont' dislocate your arm trying to stear... my 240 is so ergonomicaly bad for me i dont' know where to start.. lol,, but i'm working on it.. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Reaching the wheel isn't a problem. &nbsp;Lotsa leg room too. &nbsp;Its just the headroom.....

Just take your seat all together,and sit on the floor, or the backseat!
