Something to be aware of: OEM seats have side airbags, and no aftermarket seats have side airbags.
Not that important on track if you have a 6+ point harness and a HANS, but still important on the way to/from track (unless you use a trailer) and for daily driving (unless it's a dedicated track car). |

So according to the CG-Lock Facebook page, the inventor has a new product that does something similar called SHOFT. His new website is shoft.co.uk I just ordered a set. Hopefully it works out.

You could try out these:https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136924
They are sidemounts that use the OEM sliders and brackets, and can connect to bucket seats. I have the same issue as you: long torso, head rubs roof with helmet. So I am planning to get this mount with a Sparco seat. |

If you're ok with the caveats of using an aftermarket seat, I believe you can get more headroom by mounting the seat on fixed brackets instead of sliders?
