sliders
 

i need ideas, i need to get the seat as low as i can, but other people drive the car that are much shorter than me. im 6.4,my dads 6, and my sister is 5.3 and she likes to drive the car. dosnt bother me to much but i wanted to bolt the seat to the floor and she was not happy. so i need an idea on some slides i can bolt to the floor and still get the seat to sit a bit lower.

Have you tried the foamectomy? It does'nt change the sliders but does lower the seating position.

aftermarket seats :(

In that case, I'm really not sure. Sorry.

Its not really possible...You can get sliders, but bolting them to the floor will interfere with the front seat mount.

Unless you cut it out and make your front seat mount.

not opposed to that.

get to work! lol, moti's work is a good example. He usually cuts it out and puts in a steel U shape in place.

I would suggest you atleast used 2-3" wide steel. probably going to be somewhere at 17-20" long before bending. Measuring should be helpful, while you are at it you can hammer the ---- out of the trans tunnel some more.

onlinemetals is nice, they will pre-cut steel to your specs.

im looking for some suggestions on sliders lol. i need something completely flat.

Jeep yj?

Their website has been weird lately, you would probably have to call them. I used their low rails on my S58 when I had it. It worked very well. And I sat very low.

good call, but the aftermarket seats that are in it are ebay mazdaspeed knockoffs. so i dont know what i would tell them lol

How do they mount? On the stock rails? Then yea I'm sure the memoryfab stuff won't work.

I'm not sure if they are stock mounts or not, I didn't put the seats in. I would guess they are close to stock though. I'm going to end up having to fab somthing I think

You can compromise a bit with the stock arrangement. You can take a cut-off wheel and remove the rear pedestals (gain 3/4"), then straighten the bend of the rear on the stock slider (another 1/2"), and bolt through the floor and use a large washer underneath the car. When the seat is all the way back you drop about an inch or inch and a quarter but when the seat is pulled forward it is pretty well stock height.

Or you could go flat on the floor with an aluminum racing seat and keep an Atlanta Metro yellow pages in the trunk for girlies to sit on.

im going to try the risers first, may look into it today.
