How to lower seat height?
I am 6-1 with a long torso. The top of my head with a ball cap on nearly touches the headliner. No way can I auto cross wearing a helmet with the targa installed. Has anyone ever lowered the seat mounts? How do the GM engineers do it on the Spyder?

Re: How to lower seat height?
GM engineer equals Small man syndrome huh?
But how did they get the seat so low in the convertible Spyder concept car with its raked low windshield? I have heard of racers fabbing a bubble in the targa for helmet clearance. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

Re: How to lower seat height?
If you’re not set on the stock seat and power seat track you can lower quite a bit from what I researched on CF C4 section. I have a Corbeau A4 ordered shaved 1” bottom and also custom brackets to adapt to stock power seat unit which also lowers it a bit. If I were your height I would have to forego the power seat track for a manual slider to go even lower. The A4 seat (even shaved) is very comfortable to me, but I have not spent more than a couple hours at a time in them.

Re: How to lower seat height?
You can unhook the straps under the seat. I’m 6’4”.
BTW - The hard top, not the clear, is recommended for spirited high speed driving, since it is reduced body flex and potential damage to you irreplaceable windshield. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

Re: How to lower seat height?
move the trapeze straps on the seat to the outer hooks not the middle that might help too
