We have one in the works so stay tuned.

Would love to see some pics of progress.

One area of concern I have ran into in that past with altering seat height is he angle of the bottom cushion. Are you able to keep this stock Angle or have you ran into the need to change this angle in order to achieve the drop that seems to be very impressive.

Any news is great news that keeps us all on edge and ready to toss those credit card numbers out like funny money to get us sitting right in the twins of ours! Well, triplets really......

I will attempt to get you some angle pics up. We have been tied up with prepping our car for the up coming Spocom show. As for price we are working to keep the cost down and trying not to have a core charge

Awesome! So we are looking at a modded OE seat bracket then?

Considering the show was on the 13th, has there been any further work done on these?

DAMotorsports · 07-18-2013, 03:36 AM

We had a great show and a few days of rest. After doing a full turbo install in 6 hours the night before and running with no sleep for the weekend we took a few days to recoup. I will be finishing up a set of bracket shortly (end of the week I hope) and Ill post some pre and post install pics.

For the right hand drive guys, I will need some help from one of you. I will need some pics of the floor boards with and without the seat installed. PM me for more information (include your hight and location)

I did not get as much time as I would have liked to work on the brackets, but i did finish one. We will be working on getting before and after pictures posted. I will be working on the full movement brackets next while we start the making more of the lowest brackets.

Bump for an update on possibly the most important mod on my car to date!

But don't actually shut up, that would defeat the purpose of my post

Skyllz · 07-29-2013, 10:45 AM

Cant wait to see what comes out of this

DAMotorsports · 07-31-2013, 03:50 AM

I know everyone is waiting for updates and pictures. We are working on the passenger side brackets and the full range brackets. The 86fest is coming and we will be in the AVO Turboworld both.

Subscribed and 6'6" tall so definitely keen

just patiently waiting on a release date on these. i barely have an inch or so with a helmet on, on the lowest setting of the stock seats.

I have negative 2 inches with a helmet on. i have to do the gangsta lean to fit. the driving position is definitely not ideal.

@DAMotorsports is there any idea what pricing might look like? Pricing on something like this will be a hit-or-miss product for a lot of people. I, for one, am looking at this as a potential alternative to new seats and mounting hardware. The only reason im holding out is for pricing estimates

I'm sitting with a light lean, more then I would want just to have an inch of head clearance.

And same here. I'm hoping price would be really fair, rather then picking up a corbeau seat with rails.

Iamthebatman · 08-07-2013, 11:27 AM

Bump for updates!

Iamthebatman · 08-12-2013, 01:09 PM

Please get these available for sale ASAP. I am 6'7" and desperate!
