Im currently using the tilt and slide cobra subframes but the seating position is too laid back and i have to compromise between a comfortable pedal position and gear stick reach. I want to mount my seat more up right and lower down, can anyone suggest ways to mount the seat?
Cheers Jake

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

I don't see why you couldn't lower the box section if realy necessary.

Mine are mounted behind the cross member, is that an option for you? or do you still have rear seats?

If you get the sparco's etc they will be side mount anyway so you can pretty much mount them wherever you like.

Yeah, theses no restriction on where they go, theres nothing else in there.

How is it for reaching the wheel, gear stick with them mounted there? Or is it ok because of the more up-right possition?

i find the driving position much better.. i guess it depends on your height and reach.
