Lowering Recaro's....

Sometimes I feel the Recaro's seat position is a little high. Obviously theres no high adjustment so was thinking about getting the frames adjusted in order that they sit a little lower?
 
true and i think the focus got the same critism about height but they could be unbolted and lowered
 
From madeno racings website:

Lowered Recaro seat frame-kit, driver seat€ 454.00
Lowered Recaro seat frame-kit, co-driver seat€ 439.00
Assembly costs per seat€ 113.00
Notes:
specially for cars equipped with the original Renault Sport factory
Recaro sportseats, we developed modified seatframes and
side mounts.
driver and co-driver position will be lowered by 40mm after modification and removing the original adjust mechanism.


Expensive but you'd only need the drivers side, or would be the passengers seeing as its from left hooker country lol...

When I first got the Clio I did think it was way to high on lowest setting but suppose I've just got used to it.

A bit lower would be nicer but I actually like the fact that you don't see people in 197/200's slouched to floor like some VW's. Too low and it looks like your a dwarf

The difference between a 182 and 197 is bad enough but when you get in a bmw or something similar you really notice the problem.
 
I'm not the tallest and I feel it's high on the lowest setting. The current lowest setting should be the highest setting....
In the cup racer, your sitting on the floor. You feel loads more connected.....
 
The 1*2 has spacers under the seats, do these, not much, but it's something!
 
Just ordered a madeno driver seat kit

£445 ain't cheap but I'm hoping this improves the driving position. Got battered with bank fees as they don't take cards.


I'm 6ft4 sonhe driving position is wait her legs comfy and arms way to stretched or arms right and legs cramped


i will see if this makes a difference and possibly try a sabelt RS steering wheel or something similar to bring it closer to me.
 
Passenger seat should be a lot easier without their gut adjustment system may have a look this weekend can't be that hard surely haha
