Lowering Driver seat help
 
Hey guys, I have been searching this on here and other sites for a while and have found nothing helpful really besides how to get the seat to slide back farther. I own an 89 vert and am 6'4 300+ lbs so most people are gonna say youre f@@@ed, just to big, but I know there has got to be a way to get the seat lower by a couple inches. Whether it be mounting it straight to the floor or using a certain type of bracket..i.e. the low one that bride has or using a side mount. I dont care what I have to do and if fabrication is involved let me know as I am a welder/metal fabricator by trade. Please help me fit into my dream car and get this seat low lol. Thanks in advance. If you have a link to a thread I overlooked please post it.

Thank you for responding. That is going to be the purpose of this car. Drifting with the occasional road use to go to meets and such. Pics would be greatly appreciated so I can see how you're going about this. Again thank you.

The rmagic rail sits the seat as low as it will go. My seat is on the floor pan using that rail.

Hits the tunnel side first as there is a lump in the floor pan.

At 194cm tall I don't even have the rail set all the way back either.
