Is anyone making a seat lowering bracket? - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

@DAMotorsports

You have many eager potential customers here. Can you appease us with any more information on price and date ranges?

In. Im not particularly tall, just have felt since I got the car I want to be just a little bit lower to make my legs just a little bit more straight.

This plus an approximate drop height... I'm hoping it's more than 1/2" drop, but the stock seat brackets are so low unless this mount is very unconventional I don't see how you could get more than that without radically changing things.

I am 6'6" and did an AutoX event a couple of weeks ago. Very difficult with the helmet on. This is exactly what is needed and I am definitely interested.

We are working on two options at the same time for the stock seat. Both will be direct bolt-in kits, and the seats will retain the airbags. Our first prototypes allowed for just over 1/2 inch with full range of movement. the second option is at the inch mark but limits the movement of the slider.

Will your 1" prototype allow the seat to sit all the way back?

Really hoping you make an RHD version. I fit fine but can't have my preferred driving position with my helmet on and this should fix that.

1" lower all the way back would be perfect.

Vracer111 · 04-23-2013, 01:07 AM

Looking forward to more information on the 1" drop option...

I would love my seat to be a bit lower... Just for the hell of it really.

Make one for the passenger side too?

wootwoot · 04-23-2013, 01:49 AM

A passenger side bracket would be cool...

Add me to the list of people that want one.

Definitely interested in this. I'm 6'1 and have to put my seat back further than I would like to for autocross. Just dropping an inch or so would pretty much alleviate my issues.
