Someone else on here had mentioned it a while back so I can't take credit, but wow. What a diff. And it's free. Sit right on the cf shell deeper in the canopy. Not sure I will ever go back.

How hard is it? Not sure if anyone makes lowering brackets for the seats but I think if I ever did buckets, that would be my first move. Then removing the cushion.

You peel the Velcro...

No reason to go brackets. The cushion is almost 3inches thick.

My lemons car has a seat that is just the shell with a thin pice of material for comfort. I go 2hrs at a time without issues. Plenty of natural padding that I carry with me.

When I took car control/drifting lessons with Taka Aono of Formula D, doing that was the only way I could possibly fit in his school's car without bumping the roof with my helmet on.

Memories, haha.

Anyways, I have noticed the GT2 buckets sit tall, I feel that I sit taller in those than I do in my OEM sport seats, and I swapped back. Even with the Cantrell mounts on the bucket, I sit too high, and feel like I sit lower in the sport buckets. I wonder why these seats feel like they sit so dang tall. Haven't tried pulling the cushion but I'd be worried about the felt lining underneath long-term. Let us know how it holds up a few weeks and months from now?
