Also, do you have to get the sliders or do they make a setup which just bolts straight down? Usually gives a bit more headroom.

hmmm not really sure if I gained anymore head room. One problem is that they sent me two of the same aluminum side mounts, so I was only able to set the seat into one position, but they sent me a replacement that I havnt had time to take the seat out and put in yet, once I do I will beable to drop the seat lower. The seat has to attach to the sliders, I dont think there is a way around it at all. But I am 5'11" and I had no problem with headroom before or after (guess I just really didnt notice a difference) But I do have a slight problem with the current postion of the seat, with my thigh hitting the steering wheel a bit when using the clutch, I am hoping that with the new side mount and being able to set it at a lower position that It will eliminate the problem.
I did have a buddy of mine test out the seat, and his head was practically hitting the ceiling, but he is tall. He then sat in the passenger side (which is still stock) and said that it was equally as bothering. So all n all its the same as stock ride height and probably a little lower once I get the seat adjusted the right way finally.
I have put a few hundred miles on with the seat already, doing some long distant (hour drives) into downtown chicago as well as various car meets. And all I can say is wow I still love it. I was so serious about getting sway bars to help with body roll in highspeed corners, but with this seat it doesnt bother me AT ALL and gives a lot of confidence. And it is VERY comfortable even for an hour sitting in it, and like I said I am kinda overweight in the seat but its still A+ and has been getting better by the week now that I have been workin out. Bumps and stuff also feel weightless, this seat is VERY well made. Only issue you have to worry about is making sure "all the furniture is in the same room" when your clipping yourself into the 5 point harness (which the 5 point harness has also been very comfortable for long drives)
