I am 6’5”, I bought corbeau seat brackets for my off brand seats. If I use the seat brackets I have no room for my helmet. I am going to have to try and make a bracket that is stationary and low as possible. Has anyone tried this? Thanks

Are the seats bottom or side mount?
If they are side mount: OEM sliders with Massive Side mount brackets. Case closed!
I sit about 1-2ft lower with my Buddy Club seat.Erick Mahle | FullOpp Drift | YouTube

1-2ft? does that mean you're on the ground? :p

Basically :p
In all seriousness, back on the Corbeaus with bottom mount brackets, my helmet has very little clearance from the roof. When I put the cage in, I couldn't hold my head up straight as the cage was pushing my head to the side.
Now I have about a foot (and I'm willing to measure it) with the helmet on. :)

If your seats can be side mounted, a custom bracket can have the bottom of the seat about 1" above the floor pan. My Sparco Evo is mounted this way and with sliders the bottom of the seat is about 1-1/2" above the floor pan. The bracket was built from some 1/8" flat stock and a couple of pieces of 3/4" square tubing. I chopped off the short leg of the sparco side mounts and welded each side mount to a slider to reduce the stack height of the assembly. I haven't yet come across an E30 with a seat mounted this low.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

height adjust's bracket limits how low you can go (wedge engineering low brackets)
vs. non adjust / speedware. if you are handy you can modify height adjust to non... and i found them for ~$60-70 not $100
Of course, at 6'5", might just be best to go for side mounts...
