seat lowering kit--experiences/suggestions

[bcrl]

Hi-
My husband is 6'4" and wants to install the seat lowering kit in the viper. I know that there are 2 different models to chose from of different heights.
I would like to have some input from you tall people out there that have installed these as to pros/cons, likes/dislikes.
I am only 5'6", and though I haven't driven the car yet (we just got it in Sept and I couldn't hardly get Frank out of it and now it is in winter storage(in it's new heated garage)), but I would like to be able to some day drive it. At least once

Thanks!

You being 5'6" and your husband being 6'4" is a bit of a problem if you both intend on driving the car after installing the kit. The 2" kit will probably be perfect for him, but you will have a real hard time seeing over the hood.

The 1" kit may be a good compromise for both of you. You can adjust the seat forward/backward with the 1" kit. The 2" kit it is not adjustable.

I installed the 2" lowering kit from Northwind and it makes a HUGE difference in visibility and driving pleasure for me. I can now wear my helmet in the car without slumping toward the passenger seat.

As far as installation goes, it is a fairly straightforward install but it does take a little time to reinstall the seat covering correctly with minimal space between the floor and seat harness.
