the recaro sliders are height adjustable i hear. thats what im going to run in mine. not the cheapest ($100 a piece) but you gotta do it right ya know.

height adjustable sliders wont get you the lowest. non-adjustable recaro sliders on speedware bracket will

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...

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.

What seat do you have? I may have to fork over the bucks for a EVO.

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.

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. :)

Wanna sell me the sliders?

You could put a bubble in your roof or whatever its called. The guy I work for did it to his Genetta....or was it the ISO Daytona? I dunno, doesn't matter. The post above tell the best idea ;)

Yeah I want to sell the brackets and sliders. PM me.

If you want the most headroom, just ditch any of those sliders. Any pair of sidemount Sparcos will do the trick. You can bolt the sidemounts directly to the floor, and mount the seat as low as you want until it hits the floor.

That's how I have my Sparco Evo mounted.

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
