Default How to lower Seat?

Does anyone know of replacement seat rails that will lower my seat height?

I'm 6'2 and with a helmet I'm brushing the roof.

Where can I get them from? or can someone point me to a previous post that discusses this?

Thanks

yep HKS kansai rails, or a aftermarket seat with lowered rails. or if you are handy with rivets/welder then get some destroyed GC8 seats and use those tabs n the GDB rails as they will lower the rail by 1.5"

Bumping this back up, how much do the HKS Kansai rails lower the overall seat height?

And do they work with GC8 seats?

I've just put a weld in 6pt cage in my GC8, and the stock seats are too high (I'm 6'1") hence I need to lower my driving position so I'm actually lower in the car than the cage :P

Any other options? What seats have others out there gone for in GC8's with cages?

If you've spent the money to install a weld in cage, why aren't you running fixed back race seats?
