Question Lowering GT3 seats

I have GT3 seats in my car and would like to know if they can be mounted any lower? It looks like I could drill new holes in the slider bracket and remount them. Anyone do this or have other options?

Have a look at the Brey-Krause Tall Man bracket.

Ed, I've had the same thought. It looks like there are at least a couple of inches of clearance between the lowest part of the seat and the floor, and it sure looks like there is room to drill four new lower mounting holes. I don't see any reason to buy the B-K brackets (other than the holes are already drilled, which doesn't seem worth $150/pair).

You wanna' go first and let me know how it goes?

Cool

Keep looking, the BK brackets need a slew of other parts and very rapily approaches $500!

$500 is cheap if it means you can fit comfortably in your $100k car
