I wanna make the seat lower about 2 inches im 6'1 and i feel a little tall. i like to feel like im sitting on the floor lol Would i have to drill rails lower Or get a seat with less bottom cushion?

I don't think the stock ones are going to get any lower, but you could always go with aftermarket fixed buckets. Not sure if losing recline/sliders is worth the extra few inches to you, but it's an option.

This has been discussed before, your only real option is a fixed seat as stated above. I am 6'5" and had to go with a bucket so I could fit with a helmet (also bad back that didn't like the stock seats)

I feel like im in a SUV with my seat so high.. my Honda Civic had low Seats and it was nice.. What buckets are you using?

Just making sure. Your seat is lowered the max amount using the handle on the left?

J-Money · 01-25-2013, 03:40 PM
