ok heres the thing i'm 5'11" and i autox my car, well with the seat in the correct position for racing my head hits the roof (especialy w a helmet on). i tryed the little height adjustment **** and that does jack, i mean how close to the ceiling would you want to sit. anyway does anyone know how to lower the seat/ gain more head room???

^^ I have that same problem and I'm only 5'8".

The only think I could figure out was to either bolt the dam thing to the floor (removeing the slider and making/buying some brackets) or cough up the $$$ and get some racing seats.

I'd also like to figure it out. I never looked close enough at the rails to see if theres a way to maybe make new ones that sit lower, but I'm 5'10 ish and I barely fit. My brother is 6'3" and he wants to race, only problem... he doesn't fit in the car with a helmet on.

i used to have a s10 and i took bucket seats out of another car and put them in my s10 because i had a bench seat and well that was kinda gay to me. but when i did the seats were kinda high. and in a mini truck that isnt cool. so i took the seats out and i cut the brackets off and chopped them down some and drilled holes and bolted them back together because i didnt have a welder and bolted them back into my truck and got that real mini truckin feel. now that i have my civic i see all the other older civics drivin by and there heads are barly of the window line and they are sittin strait up. my car is slammed, and i still feel like my car is higher than theirs because my seat is so high. so im gonna see if i can do the same to this car as i did my truck ill let you guys know how it turns out.

alright, i took my seat out and messed with it a bit.there are a few things you could do. you can do what i did. (this is to the bottom cushion only) i took the front and back coil springs out i left the middle one in, i took the brace and flipped it upside down (the one below the seat back), then i removed 2 bolts from the front brace. i angled the brace down there should be a big square hole on each side where the brace should fit into. your gonna have to losen the front bolts just a little. then you put those two bolts back in but just so they rest in the square so the cushion wont move or rest on the lower bar. when you flip the rear bar upside down your only gonna be able to put 2 bolts back in instead of all four. another way is mor permanent. the brace that the seat rests on your gonna have to get a peanut grinder and cutnotches where the slider goes and your gonna have to relocate the bolts. about an inch or two lower but for the back you have to cut the left mount block out flaten the bracket. drill a hold and put a bolt through the bottom. for the right side your gonna just have to flaten it and drill a knew hole in the bracket. the only other way is to buy si, rsx, or racing seats for your car.

my way doesnt make the seat much lower but it sure does make it more comfortable, but if your a fat *** i wouldnt suggest doing this. you mike break somethin. lol
