R58 Anyone lower the drivers seat with a different bracket?
Anyone lower the drivers seat with a different bracket?
My question may be odd, but I was wondering if anyone found and installed a stationary driver’s seat bracket to lower it as much as possible to floor? I feel like the seat is still a little too high even though it is in the lowest position. I am 5’, 9” 150# (I am a woman). I had this issue before when I owned an R58 and sold it and went back into an R56 (I am actually considering purchasing a GP2 if I could find a nice one). I love my little 2014 R58 JCW, but I am getting that coffin feeling again.

Detroit Tuning answered the question—the brackets are built into the seat and cannot be removed. Looks like I will have to either deal with it or proceed with finding a GP. If I do, I will be posting my 2014 R58 JCW.
Yep, pump the seat down as much as you can. The R58 does have scoops molded into the headliner, which gives you some room. The factory Recaros (not euro Recaros) they offered at one time do sit a bit higher so their is no lower seat
The car does fell like a 911 Porsche, Maita hardtop.
