Default Lower/Further Back seat rails

Rs Lib, V5 Sti seats.

I have grave concerns that I cant fit in the car with a helmet atm.

So I need to work out a way to drop the seat height or move it back a little more.

Dropping it is the preferred solution.

Thoughts?

Surely you can get a low rail setup for the RS?

Otherwise, DIY and bolt the seat to the chassis. Problem solvered!

I am unsure Kato - I would assume so with the number used in motorsport.

Few options there for you TJ, otherwise the big workshops would have done it a few times to point you in the right direction.

Found one on ebay UK if you're on a budget: LOW Seat Rail Subaru Legacy BD5 BG5 Impreza WRX GF8 GC8

Super low driverside seatrail for full bucket seat - Fits Legacy BD BC BG BF and Impreza GC GF

£94 shipped from the UK which is roughly $150 AUD. Apparently it's super awesome JDM spec so I assume it's RHD fitment.

I presume you would unbolt your rail then add this one ?

any risks in doing so?

Dont want a seat breaking loose or something mid corner at ahg
