Sparco R100 seat fitting

[r1manx]

Hello all, I recently test fitted one of my Sparco R100 sports seats to my Clio 172 cup but when fitted, it sits about an inch higher than the standard seat, when I was hoping it would be lower or at least the same as I want a better driving position in the car (photo attached). I'm running universal sliders with the direct fit Sparco subframes (https://bit.ly/3imYuFJ) that are designed the 172 model, but I'm not happy with how high they sit. Has anyone here fitted these seats to their 172? I would like to know if their are any better mounting options, other than getting some custom frames made that sit lower down. Cheers, Ben

Wouldn't Jon Foz be able to make you some lowered rails?

I made a custom set for a customer who fitted these seats

They bolted up to the original Clio runners

if you already have the runners etc now you could bolt your current set up onto my VBD Clio X-Low subframes

send me some pics of your current set up including the subframe etc

Let’s hope Jon can sort you out otherwise you’ll be needing a sunroof as your next mod! 😂

Did you get this sorted? Have you got any photos of the final install?
