Became the owner of a 92 eunos recently. absolutely love it. I was thinking about getting meself new seats for it so that I sit lower in the car, do racing seats lower the seating position at all?

you can cut foam out of the seat to lower it.. the standard ones i mean. there's loadsa walkthroughs on it if you google search it. its supposed to be a fairly handy job

I have sparco sprints bolted to standard runners lowered me
enough for a nicer seating position but after christmass im
going to buy brackets to lower them even more

ah cool. Has anyone here done it? Is there something solid at the bottom so it doesn't sag more?

hmm, sounds tempting. How much do they lower on standard runners?

We have 2 blue and black Reactive seats but you need to buy or make suitable rails as these were fitted to Honda originally.Not a big problem to make up apparently

Mine

Sparco Sprint


JB Fabrication Bracket



I am 6'4 and i could use 1/1.5cm more head room
i guess there is max 1cm tell the seat hits the floor with the JB Fabrication bracket



Anything other than a sprint is questionable

How awkward is it getting in and out with that seat?

I have a sprint in mine too. Its not that hard getting in/out and it makes a big difference to the driving fun

i have 2 sprints in mine only find it hard when i go get inot the passenger side
once you get used to them its like getting into standard seats

from 1 to 10, 4 or 5 cause the car is low
