Is anyone making a seat lowering bracket?

Then making a prototype, with the customer in mind. We never expected this project to take this long or be so time consuming.

Where are we now, well we have sourced brackets at a discounted rate (to keep the cost down) and waiting for an order to come in. Once they arrive we will let everyone know. This will be a limited run of the 1 inch drop brackets to start.

@DAMotorsports I would like to thank you for the honest update. I fully understand the work that goes into a project like this if you intend to market it and not make a one off. I for one think you are on to something big here for people who do not want to spring for buckets and brackets and the whole PITA shopping process that goes along with that.

Keep us in the loop

I've given up. No longer interested, will solve this differently. Thanks for wasting my time with 8 months of BS and nothing real. From 2 inches to 1 inch to test models, to cost reduction to being busy ... And you sent out a first batch which noone has to write about etc...

Useless.

And yes, it makes me sad for this to be my first post on this forum, because it was meant to be an ave of your awesomeness.

Good luck with the sales 2015, when you actually do release the product - maybe.

In defense of that guys rant the vendor up teaser pics and a "soon" timeframe back in June/July. Then went silent despite frequent bumps to the thread and requests for updates from the vendor by many fellow apes rabidly waiting to throw money at the first headroom solution to hit the market. The vendor was active on this forum during that time. Just avoiding this thread.

You may not be an ape. You don't feel our pain.

The angry guy, obviously an ape.

For us this was an incredibly important item. I don't fit in the stock seats with a helmet, even after altering the springs on the stock seat. The tripping point that got me to purchase the car in July was the near vendor posts and pics of the release state of this bracket.

I passed up on a season of helmeted fun hanging on the release of this bracket. Soon it will be winter and the car will be garaged.

Finally when the vendor broke their silence and basically said they had been jerking us around and there were some test units they they were in the process of contacting people to test (lol what?, this thread is full of eager beavers that would have been delighted to be guinea pigs) was when I decided to go a different route rather than piss away the rest of the season, because apes in areas with winter don't fucking care wether an item is released in January or April. Either way the car isn't being driven.

Had this been released in anywhere resembling the timeframe insinuated this summer my money would have been sent at the first opportunity to do so.

Instead I have found my own solution to headroom and am no longer interested.

This vendor will not see my money.

What solution did you go with, and how is it working out?

After a few weeks, I love it.

The little hair I have left no longer rubs the ceiling, no more bumping the ridge at back of the rise in the roof. Fit with a helmet. Initially I was a bit underwhelmed but really it's just what I needed. The base literally sits on the floor due to the way the lower cushion droops below the sliders on rx8 seat.

Downside: seats don't match, doing the passenger side would far more than the drivers side cause of the deal found to begin with.


Also. Gf isn't a fan at all, she's average height. Can barely see over dash.

Subscribed. Definitely interested, sorry for the apes out there who absolutely need it, gl to finding something to get those helmets some use!

To the top

I just test drove a BRZ today. I am to tall.
When this bracket is available I will buy one, but till then I can't. My head is against the roof, if don't slouch I push the headliner into the roof.
Please make these soon.
Thank you
