About seat height... The biggest reason why I want to sit lower (although I'm not tall guy 1.80m) is because when I wear helmet I touch with it roof handle I dont understand how others drive e82 on track with helmet. And side support is also important + weight saving.
Those are Recaro PP's in Jersey Red cloth with suede middle inserts. This is how it looks now. I got rid of the belt extenders and you can see how the factory receptacle is outside of the seat.



There are some tricks to getting around the height issue, some of it is how you angle the seat. The side mounts will have different holes for front and rear of seat, and angling the rear lower helps (and it makes driving more comfortable). Also, some seats have LESS cushion on the bottom so more the reason you want to actually try out different seats in person. But yea, I would get 1 slider first and mess around with the settings to see what works.
