sparco

I don't mean to be a thread necromancer here, but have a few questions. Looking into some Recaros for my hatch but was curious about the height drop. I'm about 5'5" (we Asians are short haha), is the height difference drastic enough to impact visibility between the stock seats and the sparcos? My plan is wedge brackets with their sliders and Recaro Speed seats. Other thing, how easy is it to get into the back seat?

In terms of seating position, I definitely went down a couple inches. Can't say exactly how much, but my door and center armrests feel like they work better now because I'm lower, so they support me a bit more. Not enough to have changed my view of the windshield, though. It's really only a couple inches and only noticeable when placing your arms on the rests.

Getting into the back seat is no different, other than I don't have the auto slide forward feature on the passenger side like I did with the stock seat. Having said that, my sparco R100's are adjustable. If you go with non-adjusting Recaro's, it will be a different story.

Thanks! This definitely helps, probably won't be getting seats until next year. Need to do some work to the transmission first so that takes priority.
