Hello everyone, I've picked up a 1200 coupe not so long back. I'm not a basketball player, but I am large enough that with the stock seats all the way back I can only just fit my legs under and operate the pedals.

Obviously altering the seat (and possibly a smaller steering wheel) will see to the leg room issues, but the other issue is that even slightly slumped, my head is touching the rooflining.

What I'm after is feedback from people with either of the cobra seats metioned. Specifically - with the most compact rail/attachment being put in place (or just securing direct to the floor (done properly of course)) - do the cobra vintage or classic actually end up putting the driver closer to the ground.

I intend to go out to revolution next week with a tape measure, but I'd kind of like to find out if they are lower by enough of a margin that the driver would instantly notice it, not just barely noticeable.

Any other thoughts as to seat options that would put my backside closer to the asphalt? If at all possible i'd want something not entirely 'race only' in appearance - hence the look of the cobras mentions would be a much more appealing option.

Thankyou for any insight you can share.

as you can see, ive just used some 50x6 steel bar mounted directly to the seats, then bolted to origi didge rails.
you do sit lower, by how much i dont know.
damn comfy seats though. there seems to be a sudden influx in interest in these seats.
