Who has (or needs) a seat lowering kit?

[Achilles99]

I am buying an 01 GTS, and the previous owner had a seat lowering kit put in. Would it be too low for me? I'm 5'8". At first I thought being lower would be better, but will I have a bad time seeing over the hood?

How easy is it to remove the seat lowering kit and replace it with stock rails?

Anyone want a seat lowering kit?

Achilles99,
I am after a kit. I am 6 foot but have short legs and a long body.
There are 2 types. One drops the seat one inch and still allows lateral adjustment. The other drops the seat 2 inches but you loose the adjustment. Both kits should be 4 bolts connecting the kit to the floor and then another 4 to the lateral rails of the seat.
Let me know how much you want for the kit. You can email me directly.

If PJ does not want the kit I will take it. I am 6'2 and could use the extra room....sometimes I feel like a bear in the circus!!!

Thanks,


Chad

If you're 5'8" I guess taking the seating lowering may be more comfortable. I'm 6'2" with 34" length pants and definitely needed the extra head room with the 1" lowering kit which I installed. The only down side(no pun intended) is with the lowering kit, you get less support under your thighs since the front of the bottom seat cushion is lowered as well.

I wish they made the kit to just lower the back of the seat but leave the front where the stock seats are.

Exactly!!!!!!! That's why I just shortened the rear seat supports!!!! Worked mint!

I have one and I can tell you that it is extremely easy to change (take on and off). I even have my stock seat rails if you want them in case the guy you are buying from doesn't have the OEM seat kit.

You ever coming back to atlanta?!?!

5'8", you don't want that seat lowering kit in it!

I always enjoy wathing Vertically-Challenged people get in my GTS and realize they can't see over the dash!!

 

[Achilles99]

I heard that the stock seat rails are left in the car when the seat lowering kit is installed... but, from what you are saying JD, that doesn't seem to be true. As for coming back to Atlanta, maybe in the near future after I finish up the MBA!

What have most of you with 2" seat lowering kits experienced?

I have one person who is interested in the kit... if he doesn't want it, you are next in line ViperChad.

Casey - I'm 5'8", and the average Vietnamese male is 5'5" So, am I still vertically challenged ?

Linh, the two inch kit removes the rail hardware and slide/stop, (I found it a pain to install, btw.), but if you have the one inch kit, you should still have the rails and mechanism in there...
Us giants couldn't drive the snake without the two inch drop! (6-5 here)

 

[Viperchad]

still interested. Just let me know.

The 1" Northwind Engineering kit does NOT use the stock rails... those come off completely.

I have the 2 inch kit for sale!

How did you lower/modify the back stock rails? I think I'd prefer that seating position rather than lowering the whole seat 1" with the kit.

SNAKBIT, don't hold out on us! Pics please. Where can I get some seat rails to play with over the winter??
