Is anyone making a seat lowering bracket? - Page 11 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

guys, @DAMotorsports is avoiding this thread - i highly doubt we will ever see their brackets get released. I think it's time I start exploring alternative options.

DAMotorsports · 09-03-2013, 02:15 PM

@supramkivtt2jz actually I'm not. I have pm's out to some people to test the brackets and I'm waiting to hear from them. I'm having them test the 1inch brackets to see if they will fit their needs. As for the two inch I'm having to modify they for install with a full seat. We used a blank none covered seat base for testing.

When I saw this thread had started in February I was sure something would be for sale by September......guess you guys take notes from nameless.

So,

At this point the status is waiting to see if people want to test them? Is that correct?

So, realistically for anyone in an area with winter the track season will be over before these can be sniffed.

I'll be moving on. Passed enough of the season waiting for word on this.

Waiting for this also!!!

Worst case, once I store the car for the winter i'll take the driver seat out and see if I can work something myself over the cold months.

@DAMotorsports
I don't need them for racing, I'm just tall and tired of hitting my head getting in and out and scraping the ceiling if I shift around too much because I prefer to sit bolt upright.
I want these to come to market too.

Where's the thread that compares seats?

I know everyone has been waiting for more information about brackets. This has not been the easiest bracket to make. Some think it would be as easy as buying the bracket form the dealer and making the changes need. Well, that was far form the truth as a set of rails from the dealer run close to 200 dollars, I know because I have them in the shop and knowing that no one would spend more then about 100 dollar for rails we started looking for a different source. 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.

I'd be interested in a 1 inch drop bracket when they are in.

+1 on the 1 inch drop bracket.

Are you doing a passenger side one too?

Passenger side doesn't matter to me. For some unknown reason no one will ride with me twice.

+1 on the drop bracket. Track days just isn't as much fun hitting your head the whole time

I think it would be nice to just have a better driving position.... I recline my seat way more than i would like to clear the helmet.
