Is there any way to lower the seat at all? I am 6'2 and find that i don't have great visibility out of the front because my eyes are looking at the window trim and a-pillars all the time.

No. All you could do is probably remove some of the padding, so you sit lower 'in' the seat instead of on top of it. (getting some old S1 seats could do the trick..)offroadr35 said:Is there any way to lower the seat at all?
What padding? I think they forgot to put that in my carArno said:No. All you could do is probably remove some of the padding, so you sit lower 'in' the seat instead of on top of it. (getting some old S1 seats could do the trick..)
Look under the seats and you'll see that there's only a few mm between the sheet aluminium floor and the bottom of the seat, so lowering the seat itself by any noticable margin is not possible.
Bye, Arno.
Guess you've never sat in an S1 seat. The S2 and especially fed-elise seats are positively 'luxury' and 'extremely padded' compared to these..NtflBlueLiz said:What padding? I think they forgot to put that in my car![]()
They use little or no padding. You're pretty much sitting on the CF directly.Seriously, if the seat is just about down to the aluminum floor how can the Reverie seats help gain 1"?
Aren't the seat tracks mounted higher than the floor on the raised / ribbed aluminum part of the floor?
Both seats are mounted on the chassis rails. You can not mount seats to the aluminium floor sheet as it's only around 2mm thick and will not support a seat, let alone the forces the seat belts put on the seat frame in a crash.perhaps there is a way to mount the seat fixed as in the passenger side directly to the floor without any track and thus gain some precious head room and maybe even push the seat back a little.
