Hi all

I've started a few seat related threads as my ideas have shifted. However, having just done a foamectomy on my standard mk1 g-ltd seats, I'm not convinced this is a long term solution.

So what is the lowest seat option in a mk1 without welding in a new floor?

I've recently bought a motomec mrx seat with skidnation side rails from bofi racing, but sent them back as I found the combination sat higher than standard.

So I'm now open to any ideas!

For ref, I'm 6'2" and skinny...

I'm currently looking at an Elise style seat with hard mounts... If and when this happens, I'll report back with results!

Can't say I have an issue with the SPG on Tuckin99/Maruha sliding rails. Had to bash the floor just a little bit to fit it in the lowest setting otherwise the sliders would be rendered useless though. Head is below the roll bar at least.

Then again, I'm just a 6'1" manlet so its a bit harder for taller folk I guess:D.

Please DM me about any suplus to requirements JDM parts for sale arigatōgozaimasu.
