I need to buy a set of race seats for my car but need the lowest possible arrangement for my 6'4" chassis. Best make and model?

I am 6'2" and have had good luck with the Kirkey seats. There's minimal structure (it's just an aluminum shell) and the padding is not too thick. Too gain extra space, I took out the sliders and mounted the seat directly to the floor using brackets.

The GT3 seat in Felixs car mounted really low. He might even be selling it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

get an FIA approved f/g shell seat with side mounts and bolt it to the floor
make sure you fit well in the seat you get there's lots of brands/models to choose from |
