The Best mod i'v ever done :) (pics)

[chrispy.clio]

After some guys on here said about lowering the orginal seats.
I'v had a go tonight and it has been the best mod i'v made.
Here are a few pictures of just how low i have got the seat. I have lowered the drivers seat and left the passengers one for now.
I'm well happy with it

[powey]

how you manage that? looks good

 

[GarethM]

what have you done to lower them?

did it take long?

 

[Pep]

Doing a guide would get you much loving on here mate

 

[Dave Hester]

please can you give us details of how you did it and how long and how easy it was to do?

 

[meady100]

Body and wheels look immaculate! Does it even know what snow and slush are?!!?

 

[Jamesstone]

4 bolts off under the car, lift seat, remove spacers/vibration mounts ( as pictured ) re-instal seat.. Job done! although you "may" have trouble with the sliders now

I have to thank Alex for this, for doing it first but its well good. You gona do a guide mate?

 

[Russ.]

a guide would be much appreciated. Think ill do both my front seats...the passenger side is stupidly high

 

[Ali]

Eh?

 

[fUbAr]

awesome stuff....

Why do people need a guide... 4 bolts under car, lift seat, remove the crap, refit seat, refit bolts.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Not a bad idea, how much difference are you actually seeing height wise though? What's it like driving wise?

Yep thats what i did.

Oh and the last bit, yeah i cant slide the seat, but currently i have on rear interiour so no need for sliding the seat. The seat is set in my driving position.
I'd recomend doing it to the drivers seat, you can allways leave the passengers seat for people to get in the back

Ha ha, yeah it has seen the snow and salt, i gave it a good wash the other day and put it straight in the garage where its nice and warm

 

[BREMBO]

Love the last pic!

 

[Marky_]

Sounds like a good idea.

As a side note, I was a passenger in my car for first time last weekend and it's like being a child in a high chair again!

 

[Curley]

Going to do this with my recaros tomorrow.

What size washers shall i put under the frame so it wont catch on the carpet

 

[Si]

[LFCJosh]

I didnt use a washer so mine catches on the carpet.
A washer the size of a 20 - 50 pence peice, at least a 8mm inner diameter too.

 

[tonksy26]

Is there anyway so you can still slide the chair back and forward ?

 

[Tigger]

I prefer the sliding feature lol, and I'm not that tall anyway

 

[chrispy.clio]

Yeah you can still have them sliding if you put a little washer in brings the seat up like 2mm, but i went for the impractical version and got 2mm lower

 

[Guppy]

Will be doint this mod asap!

 

[clio_luke]

i will be doing this as low as i can with the sliding function still in operation

 

[Tigger]

Ahh, now that's a different story

 

[PS autoshine]

the best mod anyones done,wish i did it to mine, i hated how high the seats were but didn't know.

 

[lee131]

ha ive got 2 on each seat i lost a few when swapping my seats

 

[FlameR172]

whats the point in it tho ??

 

[chrispy.clio]

Whats the point???????

It makes you lower to the ground and its a better driving position.
Also slightly lower centre of gravity.

 

[Guppy]

whats the point in it tho ??

Most reviews of the sports have been slated bye the driving position being too high, Saying that your sat on it, not in it

This mod lowers the seating position enhancing the driving positoin

 

[chrispy.clio]

Yeah "sat on it, not in it" thats a better way of putting it.

 

[Guppy]

How hard where the bolts on the underside of the car to get to matey???

Only got a small jack

Howd the lowering of the recaros go?

 

[Curley]

I've got the car up now, just been cleaning the arches etc.

I've got washers so i might do them after ive had something to eat!

I'll post up later

They are really easy to get to, just look where the bolts are in the car and look/feel where the bolt is. I used a 13mm socket i think
