36-1/2" Seat too tall?
http://www.racingdimension.com/index...ROD&ProdID=700
I'm wondering if this seat may be too tall for my car?
Anyone know off the top of their heads how tall our interior is?

I have a Corbeau A4 that fits and is also 36.5" tall.
A lot will depend on the bracket used to mount it. I went with the Corbeau one as I didn't have the time to make my own out of aluminum at the time.
I would be more concerned about the width. At 22.5" wide is is a full inch wider than my seat and I know for a fact that if you have the stock interior door panels that will pose issues. If it does fit, your recline adjustment range will be limited.

Will fit on most vehicles with seat bracket for installation, except very small vehicles such as S2000, Del Sol, Miata, MR2, RX7, ... etc.
That was copied directly from the site.

those netami seats are nice
from my experience, it seems that almost all aftermarket racing
seats are around the 34-37" range. so i don't think they are any
different than any other. obviously alot depends on how you mount them

One thing you have too think about is how thick the seat bottom is? I bought some seats that were 37" without seeing them in person and my head would have stuck out the moonroof by an inch or two, Tecknically those seats will fit in your car but if you are more then 6 feet tall you will most likely not.
Another thing to think about is the passenger side exhaust hump in the floor board will give you more problems trying to size your seats up. I have sparco sprints in my car and they are 34.0 inches tall and they are close to not fitting on the passenger side. Sorry for the small pics but you can see the passenger side is like two inches or so higher then the driver but the drivers side is lower then stock which is nice.

I'm 6'5 and my original stock 84GSL Seats work OK but the Driver side is starting to show some wear at the Seam where you rube getting in and out of the car. Other than that they look preety damn good for there age. i.e No Fades or Tears and the Cusions are still strong.
Been thinking about getting New Seats or going the ReFab Way?
Let us know how they feel after you get them installed!
Do the seats that you have come in different color combo's?

Yes, they come in different colors.
Update: I Bolted on my original rails, and they fit perfect. All I had to do was drill another hole on the stock rails 1/2" from the original.
I'll show some pics next week when i work on the car again.
PS: I love rack and pinion steering
