I know all the tall guys, me included are worried about helmet clearance but what's worse is trying to climb out the driver's side window. Try it, tight fit!

I guess the first few companies forgot about this project.

Paging @Rev Works ! You have that Turbo FR-S in shop or my BRZ if you need a car to fab and test. Look at the long list of people throwing money at their monitors. Lets make this happen!

I'm Sorry guys it has been a bit since I last updated everyone. The 1 inch kit will go all the way back and the 1/2 inch kit allows for a full range of motion. Not being happy with the limited drop number I have come up with a third design (still in testing). I will be cleaning up the new kit on tuesday and I will post pictures.

I am also working with the cost in mind we are trying to keep the cost down but still keeping the quality while developing the kits.

What am I missing? If the 1" goes all the way back, what extra motion does the 1/2" have that the 1" does not?

At 6'4" I fit in the car fine for daily driving, but I suspect I'd run into issues with a helmet. I'd be all over the 1" lowering kit since I sure as hell don't slide the seat forward at all!

This would also be really useful for those of us who live the large life it'll make the seating position better since I won't have to put the seat almost all the way back to clear my quads. My short arms don't exactly allow for a comfortable seating position that way. TAKE MY MONEY! Lol
