I'm looking for a bit of help from you guys, I'm looking for someone (or a friend) that has lowered their drivers seat using the sector 111 Tallrails or similar (http://www.sector111.com/track/interior/downlow_seat_rails.cfm)
To see if I can fit with my lid on, Arun D at the weekend let me try myself in his Exige with sports pack, but I need another half inch to fit and one inch to make it comfortable.

The sector 111 rails say they lower the seat by 2/3" at the back which sounds ideal, I know about the tilt affecting the knee room, but i've ample of that.

Hopefully one of you guys can help me.

I fitted these to my Europa, worked very well. Tillet seat is a better solution though

i'm 6'4.5, i bought tall rails and had the garage drill some better holes to get the seat as low and far back as poss, helmet still pretty close to the roof but you don't notice after the first lap

pther option is to remove seat padding or lose some weight

Was it the Sector 111 kit that you had fitted, and what garage did the work for you?
I'm not sure where your located, but if possible could I come and try myself in your car.

Thanks Rob.
