I got a pair of sparco Monza seats, I then purchased the sparco flat seat base, installed the seats, however the top of the seats are half an inch from the roof and my head is half an inch from the roof, im only 5'8"

i have a 320mm steering wheel as opposed to a 365mm wheel, and my legs get squished b/t the wheel and seat.

i was wondering, has anyone had experiences with these problems? which seats have people sucessfully installed in the s14? do bride seats sit lower or same as stock? such as brixII or ergoII?

any suggestions would be appreciated!

thats how they sit, sparco brackets totally suck *** for s14. bride seats sit quite lower than stock because they took more than 5 seconds designing the brackets.

I have this same problem in my s13. I haven't gotten around to trying to fix it yet though since it's not quite on the road at the moment.

The brackets I recieved didn't mate up to the bolt holes very well either. It took almost an hour to put the drivers seat in.

Can the Bride bottom mount rail system be fitted to the Sparco's? I kinda had my heart set on a pair of Sparco Fighters.

my corbeau sits higher than stock but its not extreme and is fine once you get used to it. sorry don't think that helps though.
