In a .2 GT3RS ? I love the seats....might love them even more if they were about .5 inch higher.
Thanks for any help

I was just out in my garage gettingmy car ready for this weekend and me being 6'5" tall needs to sit lower...mostly to try and get my knees uner the steering wheel.
I just removed the velcro seat cushion and back rest from the seat. I think this is going to be a great solution for me.

Good idea Trakcar, only bummer is that will raise me inside the bucket.....I like the way I fit, just want the whole seat a tiny bit higher. I'm 5'9'...so not a really big deal....maybe I just want a better view of those front fenders !!
Thanks
Thanks

Seat height perfect for me (6 feet), but I actually would like the seatback to be tilted back a bit, as the current position is perfect without helmet, but not comfortable with helmet on.

simple fix...add a spacer between seat rail and floor
I bought 1/4" thick spacers at Lowes and inserted 2 of them on my Euro GT3/CGT seats
I'm 5'6" and it worked perfect
And of course get longer bolts and torque to proper spec![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I'm 5'7 and distance to the pedals is fine but I feel like I'm too close to the steering wheel and shifter (feels like my right elbow has no room against the seat). Any way of tilting these seats back an inch or two?

My beef with the seats is that the sun visors don't come down low enough! I'm 5'10. I wonder if anyone has a neat fix for this?

or maybe look into an older model 2007-2009 that has larger sun visors.
I have a solution for seat height adjustments but it may not be suitable ..

I have a 2010 GT3 RS with the sport seats. I wanted to raise the seat plus adjust the overall rake of the seat, so it was more upright. I don't agree with the previous respondent who said just to put spacers between the floor and the seat rails and use longer bolts. The front mounting is at an angle and inserting a spacer would affect the fit of the bolt.
I found the easiest way was to separate the seat mounts from the seat rail and insert the spacers with longer bolts in this gap. I fabricated spacers out of 1/4" by 1" wide aluminum bar. For my application, I inserted two spacers at the rear and one at the front on each side. Then you just mount the seat to the floor using the stock bolts. Works for me.
