Racing seat and roll cage question
First off I know this has probably be covered time and time again, but I'm just to the point of frustration and need to find out for my application. Please HELP!
Racing seats... I need some that will dropped me down an inch or two from the stock GXL leather seats. I've now tried three different seats and each of them have had issues either to wide or raised me an inch.
I need seats that work for a 6'1" 34in wide
Second question... I'm looking for a rear cage with door bars. Do not want upper cage due to height. Needs to have harness bar. I just can't seem to find the cage any where.

As others have already said, shaving the sliders is one of the only ways. I shaved everything off the stock sliders to be left with flat brackets. Then I welded a piece of sheet steel onto either side (the sidemount hangs off the back of the stock bracket, so I had to extend the mounting surface). I'm just not ready to remove the sheet metal holding up the seat brackets to mount directly to the floor.
You are on the right track for style of seat, as you will need a composite bucket sidemounted to get as low as possible. I chose a seat that I can also take the seat cushion out of, but leave in the leg cushion, for that extra .5in. For auto-x or a track session I dont really notice that I'm sitting on solid composite, ymmv.
