Seat height?

Post by -Alex77- »

Hello, i have a pair of new recaro seats and tracks. Also possibilty to make lasercut frames for installation.

Wondering which would be proper heigth measured from floor to seat. With this frame it would about 280mm. Should i go 20mm lower? I am 180cm tall.

Get some wood and whatever else and mock up different positions till your comfortable. Do you want to lower the CG, then place yourself lower, but then you'll lose some visibility out the front. If you set yourself too far back it will be a pain to reach the shifter. That's why you want to mock it up to reduce the possibility of doing a lot of work twice.
