To big

Hi guys, I'm a bit stuck and not sure what to do. I brought my lude h22a8 4 weeks ago, when I brought her my head was bang on the head lining ( by a lot, I'm 6ft 6. ) I thought this would be a problem as I would just get lower seat rails like I did in my m3 and my Subaru.
Well once I found out that I could not get lower seat rails, I have tried every mod possible, had new seat springs, had the foam shaved and I still bang my head let alone get a helmet on.
This is my last ditch attempt to get some help. I love the lude, and I'm loving vtec, so I do not want to sale her so soon.
If you guys can help with any ideas that would be great.
Cheers I really don't want to sale her, if I have to though will look at atr. But would prefer to keep the lude. :cry:

I have Bride low seat rails and it's really low compared to the stock seat position (around 2 inches). :mrgreen:

I'm sure you can fabricator your own seat rails to make them low enough for your perfect position. :idea: :arrow:

Im using S2000 seats on the S2000 seat pan instead of the Preludes. It sits 2 inchs lower. Much better.

I bought my BB4 off of a fairly short chap, he'd machined some spacers like you'd get on a 4x4 lift kit and used longer bolts to raise the seat rails by about an inch and a half :lol:
