Seats

So my stock seats are were shot and glx seats i got is to high and at 6'2 my head is no match for the headlinear i seem to tag if i hit a good bump on the 401.

So i am looking for seats that place me a bit lower in the car reclinble and not riceish.

I have been looking at the recaros but hard to find in good sape and impossible to find rails for the fc.

so what are my opions in canada?

Are you looking for genuine seats or are you cool with fakes? They arent noticeable fakes like the name is all good and they look like the real deal. You'd also have to find rails for them but I know someone selling a couple sets that he posted pics on facebook of.

This is the only recliner set, the rest are buckets. I sent him a message asking how much so I'll let you know when he replies.

hybrid make your own rails its even easier if you don't need to slide just set up your seat how you like it and bolt it in + this way know one shorter or taller then you will be able to drive

These seats come with rails that slide.. and apparently need an adapter for the specific car they're going into.

i'm 6'4" and don't have any serious issues, i do avoid bumps, and stop for railway crossings, although...maybe try taking some foam out of your seats?
